It is well-known from animal and human studies that, as a central nervous stimulant, cocaine induces electroencephalographic (EEG) desynchronization. Cocaine also purportedly increases sexual behavior as a n aphrodisiac. Whether the effects of cocaine on EEG activity and penile erection are mechanis

We evaluated the role of the hippocampal formation in cocaine-induced cortical electroencephalographic (EEG) desynchronization and penile erection. Adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats anesthetized and maintained by chloral hydrate were used. Intravenous (1.5 or 3.0 mg/kg) administration of cocaine dose-
We applied continuous, on-line and real-time spectral analysis of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals and microdialysis to evaluate the possible participation of noradrenergic neurotransmission a t the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in EEG desynchronization induced by cocaine.

We demonstrated previously that a novel negative feedback mechanism for the regulation of penile erection, which is triggered by ascending sensory inputs initiated by tumescence of the penis, exists in the hippocampal formation (HF). This study further elucidated the role of the locus coeruleus (LC)
We evaluated the effect and action mechanisms of cocaine on electroencephalographic (EEG) activity in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats anesthetized with chloral hydrate (400 mgkg, i.p., with 80 m g k g h supplements). On-line and real-time power spectral analysis of the EEG activity continuously quant
## Abstract Excitotoxicity and cell death induced by glutamate are involved in many neurodegenerative disorders. We have previously demonstrated that excitotoxicity induced by millimolar concentrations of glutamate in hippocampal slices involves apoptotic features and glutamateβinduced glutamate re
