## Abstract Dopaminergic pathways have been recognized to play a critical role in cognition and emotion. Dopamine D2 and D4 receptors are the target for most common antipsychotics and their activation, particularly those in the medial temporal lobe structures, has been associated with their benefic

Abstract
The histaminergic neurons located in the posterior hypothalamus modulate whole brain activity in a manner dependent on behavioral state. We have investigated their influence on high‐frequency oscillation (200‐Hz ripples) in the hippocampal CA1 region of freely moving rats. The occurrence of these ripples, assumed to be involved in memory trace formation, was markedly enhanced after injection of the H1‐antagonists pyrilamine and ketotifen in a lateral ventricle, indicating a tonic activity of the histaminergic system. The H2‐ and H3‐antagonists cimetidine and thioperamide were ineffective. We suggest a mediation of these effects through blocking the known histaminergic excitation of septal neurons. Histamine administered by the intracerebroventricular route had an inhibitory action on ripples. H1‐receptor activation, which has been shown to inhibit learning and memory, thus shifts hippocampal activity away from high‐frequency oscillation toward theta activity.

## Abstract A modulatory role for the hippocampal theta rhythm in synaptic plasticity is suggested by the observations that theta occurs during exploratory behaviors, spatial learning is impaired when the theta rhythm is disrupted, and excitation of hippocampal principal cells is phase‐coupled to t
The effect of a series of electroconvulsive shock (ECS) applied after chronic administration of mianserin was tested in the rat. ECS in the group pretreated with mianserin produced a significantly larger increase in the density of 0,-adrenoceptors, while its effect on P-adrenoceptor density and cycl
Electrophoretic and kinetic determinations of the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in murine erythroleukaemic (MEL) cells, sampled at 1 min intervals, reveal distinct oscillations in the activity and amount of active isozyme. Both oscillations have periods in the range of 2-6 min (probably less) an
