Lee S-Y, Kim M-S, Han J-S (2013) Activation of NF-κB signaling in the hippocampus without cholinergic input was aggravated by chronic stress. Neuroscience 2013 Abstracts 717.18. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Previous studies have demonstrated that loss of cholinergic input to hippocampus contributes dysfunction of HPA axis and alters GR-PKA-NF-κB signaling in hippocampus.

Vargas SL, Watts AG (2013) Compensatory feeding after reversing dehydration-anorexia: Is it analogous to glucoprivic or food deprivation-induced feeding?. Neuroscience 2013 Abstracts 757.04. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: We use dehydration (DE)-anorexia to identify the neural networks associated with feeding behavior. How these networks are organized and interact to control ingestive behavior in

Neuroscience 2013 Abstracts 854.02. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Orexinergic neurons innervate several brain regions including the basal forebrain, a structure known to be crucial for normal attentional performance
