Easton A, Fitchett AE, Eacott MJ, Baxter MG (2011) Medial septal cholinergic neurons are necessary for context-place memory but not episodic-like memory. Hippocampus 21(9):1021-1027. doi: 10.1002/hipo.20814 Summary: Although it is clear that neurodegenerative diseases cause memory impairment, it is uncertain to what extent cholinergic deficits cause this loss of function. The authors administered a total […]

Neurobiol Learn Mem 94(1):42-56. doi: 10.1016/j.nlm.2010.03.005 Summary: This work examined a wide range of gene expression in the rat hippocampus after bilateral injections of 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) – 37.5 ng per side in

Pang KCH, Jiao X, Sinha S, Beck KD, Servatius RJ (2011) Damage of GABAergic neurons in the medial septum impairs spatial working memory and extinction of active avoidance: Effects on proactive interference. Hippocampus 21(8):835-846. doi: 10.1002/hipo.20799 Summary: Recent work implicates the medial septum (MS) and diagonal band (DB) in the control of proactive interference —

Hummel M, Cummons T, Lu P, Mark L, Harrison JE, Kennedy JD, Whiteside GT (2010) Pain is a salient “stressor” that is mediated by corticotropin-releasing factor-1 receptors. Neuropharmacology 59(3):160-166. doi: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2010.05.001 Summary: Given that corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) plays a major role in the response to stress, the authors investigated the role CRF-1 receptors may play

J Neurochem 114(3):761-771. doi: 10.1111/j.1471-4159.2010.06800.x Summary: The authors removed noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus/subcoeruleus complex of neonatal rats with 0.25-1.0 µg bilateral injections of anti-DBH-SAP (Cat. #IT-03).
