The heterogeneous paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of birds offers favorable conditions for the analysis of intrinsic, afferent, and efferent connections of neuroendocrine systems. Paraventricular neurons are successfully impregnated with the Golgi-technique. The findings indicate a direct influence of

The neural connections from the nucleus accumbens to the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus were investigated in urethane-anesthetized rats. Extracellular recordings were made from 84 spontaneously firing neurons in the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus while the nucleus accumbens was electricall
The techniques of targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the ventralis intermedius nucleus (Vim) are similar, only the coordinates are different. Targeting ideally consists of gathering all data about a target and positioning the electrode correctly within that target. The electrode should be p
Recent studies indicate that an increase in serotonergic (5-HT) activity in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) produces an increase in dopamine (DA) release, providing a possible mechanism for the involvement of DA in the therapeutic action of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants.
