Activation in mesolimbic and visuospatial neural circuits elicited by smoking cues: evidence from functional magnetic resonance imaging.
(Am J Psychiatry, 2002-06)
OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to increase understanding of the brain mechanisms involved
in cigarette addiction by identifying neural substrates modulated by visual smoking
cues in nicotine-deprived smokers. METHOD: Event-related ...
A membrane-associated progesterone-binding protein, 25-Dx, is regulated by progesterone in brain regions involved in female reproductive behaviors.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2000-11-07)
The ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) plays a central role in the regulation of the
female reproductive behavior lordosis, a behavior dependent upon the sequential activation
of receptors for the ovarian steroid hormones estradiol ...
Faces evoke spatially differentiated patterns of BOLD activation and deactivation.
(Neuroreport, 2003-05-23)
Using fMRI techniques sensitive to blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) contrast, we
measured brain activity in participants (n=8) as they viewed images of faces presented
periodically within a continuously changing montage ...
Assessing visual requirements for social context-dependent activation of the songbird song system.
(Proc Biol Sci, 2009-01-22)
Social context has been shown to have a profound influence on brain activation in
a wide range of vertebrate species. Best studied in songbirds, when males sing undirected
song, the level of neural activity and expression ...
