We examined the activities of serotonin (5-HT) neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) neurons in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) during acute treadmill running at different speeds (control, low, high) and durations (15, 30, 60 min) in male Wistar rats using c-Fos/5-HT or CRF immunohistochem...

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to detect the expression of interleukin (IL)-1β and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 in the colonic tissue and serum of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) rats, as well as the distribution and expression of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the spinal cord and brain of the visceral hypersensitivity rats, thus...

Stress affects dopamine-dependent behaviors in part through the actions of corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). For example, acute stress engages CRF signaling in the VTA to suppress the motivation to work for food rewards. In contrast, acute stress promotes drug-seeking behavior through the actions of CRF in th...

The lateral hypothalamus (LH) is implicated in the physiological and behavioral responses during stressful events. However, the local neurochemical mechanisms related to control of stress responses by this hypothalamic area are not completely understood. Therefore, in this study we evaluated the involvement of CRFergic neurotransmission acting thro...

Stress is highly pervasive in humans, impacting motivated behaviors with an enormous toll on life quality. Many of the effects of stress are orchestrated by neuropeptides such as corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). It has previously been shown that in stress-naïve male mice, CRF acts in the core of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) to produce appetitiv...

Stress plays a major role in the development of alcohol use disorder (AUD)-a history of chronic stress contributes to alcohol misuse, and withdrawal from alcohol elevates stress, perpetuating cycles of problematic drinking. Recent studies have shown that, in male mice, repeated chronic intermittent ethanol (CIE) and stress elevates alcohol use abov...

Chemokines such as chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) play a role in several behaviors, including anxiety-like behavior, but whether neurons are an important source of CCL2 for behavior and how neuronal CCL2 may work to affect behavior are still debated. When a herpes simplex virus (HSV) vector was used to knockdown CCL2 mRNA in neurons of the c...

The time-dependent increase in cue-triggered opioid seeking, termed “incubation of opioid craving,” is modeled in rodents by examining responding for opioid-associated cues after a period of forced abstinence. With opioid drugs, withdrawal symptoms may heighten cue reactivity by recruiting brain systems involved in both reward seeking and stress re...

Access to long-run historical data in the field of social sciences, economics and political sciences has been identified as one necessary condition to understand the dynamics of the past and the way those dynamics structure our present and future. Financial yearbooks are historical records reporting on information about the companies of stock excha...
