The pallial basal ganglia pathway modulates the behaviorally driven gene expression of the motor pathway.
(Eur J Neurosci, 2007-04)
The discrete neural network for songbird vocal communication provides an effective
system to study neural mechanisms of learned motor behaviors in vertebrates. This
system consists of two pathways--a vocal motor pathway ...
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 ...
Supplementary Eye Fields
(Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, 2009)
The DLK-1 kinase promotes mRNA stability and local translation in C. elegans synapses and axon regeneration.
(Cell, 2009-09-04)
Growth cone guidance and synaptic plasticity involve dynamic local changes in proteins
at axons and dendrites. The Dual-Leucine zipper Kinase MAPKKK (DLK) has been previously
implicated in synaptogenesis and axon outgrowth ...
FoxP2 expression in avian vocal learners and non-learners.
(J Neurosci, 2004-03-31)
Most vertebrates communicate acoustically, but few, among them humans, dolphins and
whales, bats, and three orders of birds, learn this trait. FOXP2 is the first gene
linked to human speech and has been the target of positive ...
Co-activation of the amygdala, hippocampus and inferior frontal gyrus during autobiographical memory retrieval.
(Neuropsychologia, 2005)
Functional MRI was used to investigate the role of medial temporal lobe and inferior
frontal lobe regions in autobiographical recall. Prior to scanning, participants generated
cue words for 50 autobiographical memories and ...
Emotional intensity predicts autobiographical memory experience.
(Mem Cognit, 2004-10)
College students generated autobiographical memories from distinct emotional categories
that varied in valence (positive vs. negative) and intensity (high vs. low). They
then rated various perceptual, cognitive, and emotional ...
Enhanced rewarding properties of morphine, but not cocaine, in beta(arrestin)-2 knock-out mice.
(J Neurosci, 2003-11-12)
The reinforcing and psychomotor effects of morphine involve opiate stimulation of
the dopaminergic system via activation of mu-opioid receptors (muOR). Both mu-opioid
and dopamine receptors are members of the G-protein-coupled ...
Differential mechanisms of morphine antinociceptive tolerance revealed in (beta)arrestin-2 knock-out mice.
(J Neurosci, 2002-12-01)
Morphine induces antinociception by activating mu opioid receptors (muORs) in spinal
and supraspinal regions of the CNS. (Beta)arrestin-2 (beta)arr2), a G-protein-coupled
receptor-regulating protein, regulates the muOR in ...
Association of MDMA/ecstasy and other substance use with self-reported sexually transmitted diseases among college-aged adults: a national study.
(Public health, 2009-08-04)
MDMA/ecstasy use among college students has increased and reportedly leads to risky
sexual behaviours. However, little is known about its association with sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs). To evaluate this public health ...
