Ricceri L, Scattoni ML, Calamandrei G (2001) Neonatal cholinergic lesions alter reactivity to a GABAergic agonist in 18-day-old rats. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 541.14. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: We have shown previously that neonatal intracerebroventricular (icv) injections of the selective cholinergic immunotoxin 192 IgG-saporin on postnatal day (pnd) 7induces learning impairments on pnd […]

Motooka Y, Kondoh T, Nomura T, Tamaki N, Nishizaki T (2001) Poster: Selective cholinergic denervation inhibits expression of long-term potentiation in the adult but not infant rat hippocampus. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 599.7. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: The present study assessed the role of the cholinergic systems on the expression of perforant path

Kudoh M, Seki K, Watanabe S, Shibuki K (2001) Sound sequence discrimination requires cholinergic inputs and suppression of M-currents in the rat auditory cortex. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 621.2. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Synaptic potentiation after sequential heterosynaptic stimulation is dependent on the stimulus sequence in the auditory cortex. Atropine or antagonists of

Sanders NM, Dinh TT, Pedrow C, Ritter S (2001) Selective immunotoxin lesions of hindbrain norepinephrine/epinephrine (NE/E) neurons impair feeding and corticosterone responses and Fos-immunoreactivity in hypothalamic sites during insulin-induced hypoglycemia (IIH). Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 635.21. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Previously,we used the targeted immunotoxin saporin, conjugated to a monoclonal antibody against dopamine

Pau K (2001) Immunolesioning of brainstem DBH neurons on the mating-induced LH and prolactin surge in the rabbit. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 466.7. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Coitus induces a surge release of norepinephrine (NE) that is accompanied by a preovulatory gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)/luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. Prazosin, an alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist, attenuates

Wang H, Guyenet PG (2001) DL-homocysteic (DLH)-induced tachypnea is eliminated by ablation of neurokinin-1 receptor immunoreactive (NK1R-ir) neurons of the preBötzinger complex (preBötc). Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 633.4. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: We identified a hot spot of the ventrolateral medulla (VLM) where tachypnea is produced by small injections of the excitatory amino

Nattie EE, Li A (2001) Destruction by SP-SAP of rat retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) neurons expressing the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) decreases breathing at rest and in response to hypercapnia. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 573.1. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Neurons in the RTN are hypothesized to provide both a tonic excitation for breathing and

Palecek J, Paleckova V, Willis WD (2001) Dermorphin-saporin conjugate relieves inflammatory pain after peripheral application. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 508.10. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Opioid receptors have been shown to exist in specific population of DRG neurons signaling nociceptive information from peripheral tissues. In our study, we attempted to selectively destroy these neurons
