Potts JT, Fong AY, Anguelov PI, Lee S, McGovern D, Grias I (2007) Targeted deletion of neurokinin-1 receptor expressing nucleus tractus solitarii neurons precludes somatosensory depression of arterial baroreceptor-heart rate reflex. Neuroscience 145(3):1168-1181. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2007.01.001 Summary: Previous work by these authors examined the role of substance P in arterial baroreflex. Here, 1.5 ng bilateral injections

Neurosci Lett 415(2):190-193. doi: 10.1016/j.neulet.2007.01.020 Summary: One effect of estradiol on astrocytes is the mediation of neuronal sprouting. Astrocytes express glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in response to injury, but estradiol has been shown to repress GFAP expression. Ovariectomized female rats

Neurobiol Learn Mem 88:114-126. doi: 10.1016/j.nlm.2007.01.007 Summary: The entorhinal cortex (EC) is intimately involved in olfactory learning. Lesioning of this structure

Brain Res 1136:110-121. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2006.12.028 Summary: A major source of cholinergic innervation to several cortices is the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM). Rats were trained to acquire an olfactory discrimination learning
