Works SJ, Wellman CL (2001) Differential dendritic atrophy in frontal cortex after cholinergic lesion in young adult and aged rats. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 101.17. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Previously, we demonstrated that plasticity of frontal cortex is altered in aging rats: three months after surgery, ibotenic acid lesions of the nucleus basalis […]
Helm KA, Han JS, Gallagher M (2001) Selective cholinergic deafferentation affects GR mRNA expression in the rat brain. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 175.10. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Two common features of the aging process include progressive dysfunction of both the basal forebrain cholinergic (BFC) system and suprahypothalamic feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

Burk JA, Herzog CD, Porter MC, Mahoney J, Bruno JP, Sarter M (2001) Interactions between partial cortical cholinergic deafferentation and aging on sustained attention performance in rats. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 202.5. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Previous studies have provided only limited support for the idea that aging alone impairs the functions of
Rinaman L, Wonders CP (2001) Targeted destruction of A2/C2 catecholamine neurons alters hypothalamic responses to vagal stimulation. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 131.4. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: Central catecholamine (CA) pathways participate in viscerosensory modulation of hypothalamic neuroendocrine function. Different brainstem CA cell groups may relay different types of viscerosensory signals to different classes

Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 224.13. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: We have previously shown using conditioned place preference (CPP) that mice lacking
Gu JG, Nakatsuka T, Tanaka E, Takeda D, Jennifer LX (2001) Capsaicin-sensitive inhibitory pathway in rat spinal cord dorsal horn. Neuroscience 2001 Abstracts 158.13. Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA. Summary: The inhibitory system in the spinal cord plays an important role in regulating nociceptive sensory inputs. Here we examined inhibitory synaptic activity in lamina
