Discovery of orally active 3-pyridinyl-tropane as a potent nociceptin receptor agonist for the management of cough.

8 Sep 2009 A series of 3-pyridinyl-tropane analogues based on previously reported compound 1 have been synthesized and shown to bind to the nociceptin receptor with high affinity. From the SAR study and our lead optimization efforts, compound 10 was found to ... Read more...

Power spectrum analysis of ultrasonic vocalization elicited by maternal separation in rat pups.

9 Jun 2009 The present study investigated how frequency distribution of maternal separation-induced ultrasonic vocalization was altered by environmental stimuli and pharmacological agents. Sprague-Dawley rat pups at 10 days were used to measure numbers and ... Read more...

The role of neurotrophins in the seasonal-like growth of the avian song control system.

18 May 2009 The avian song control system undergoes pronounced seasonal plasticity in response to photoperiod and hormonal cues. The action of testosterone (T) and its metabolites in the song nucleus HVC is both necessary and sufficient to promote breeding ... Read more...
