Blanco-Centurion CA, Gerashchenko D, Murillo-Rodriguez E, Shiromani PJ (2002) Simultaneous neurotoxic lesions of noradrenergic LC, histaminergic TMN and cholinergic BF neurons do not elicit hypersomnia whereas lesions of the hypocretin-containing LH neurons do. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 577.16. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Wakefulness is believed to be due to activation of neurons in the […]

Fargo KN, Sengelaub DR (2002) Androgen manipulation protects remaining motoneurons from dendritic atrophy after induced motoneuron death. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 466.13. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Androgen treatment facilitates axon regrowth after axotomy of facial and sciatic motoneurons, and reverses castration-induced dendritic atrophy in motoneurons of the spinal nucleus of the bulbocavernosus (SNB) in

Kanold PO, Shatz CJ (2002) Developmental regulation of GABA Receptor subunits requires subplate neurons. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 530.11. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Subplate neurons (SP) are required for formation and patterning of thalamocortical connections. In visual cortex, SP ablation before the onset of the critical period, but when LGN axons are already in

Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 351.11. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Abnormal pain from L5/L6 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) has been shown to require

Meng ID, Harasawa I, Lai J, Porreca F, Fields HL (2002) Changes in rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) neurons after the selective loss of mu-opioid receptor expressing cells. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 351.9. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Different subpopulations of RVM neurons inhibit or facilitate dorsal horn nociceptive transmission. Microinjection of saporin conjugated to the

Miller SA, Lappi DA, Wiley RG (2002) Enhanced morphine analgeisa after spinal dermorphin-saporin. Neuroscience 2002 Abstracts 218.1. Society for Neuroscience, Orlando, FL. Summary: Dermorphin-saporin (derm-sap) is a neuropeptide toxin conjugate which is selective for neurons expressing the mu-opiate receptor (MOR). The dermorphin moiety of the conjugate binds MOR which is then internalized by the neuron,
