Accumbal dopamine and serotonin activity throughout acquisition and expression of place conditioning: correlative relationships with preference and aversionAdam Z Weitemier
Molecular Neuropathology Research Group, RIKEN Brain Science Institute, 2 1 Hirosawa, Wakoshi, Saitama 351 0198, Japan
Eur J Neurosci 29:1015-26. 2009..They further provide evidence for an active role of DA-5-HT interactions in the expression of learned behavior...
Urocortin 1 in the dorsal raphe regulates food and fluid consumption, but not ethanol preference in C57BL/6J miceA Z Weitemier
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University and Portland Alcohol Research Center, Portland, OR 97239, USA
Neuroscience 137:1439-45. 2006..In addition, it is suggested that endogenous urocortin 1 in this area, such as from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, does not regulate ethanol preference in C57BL/6J mice...
Lesions of the Edinger-Westphal nucleus alter food and water consumptionAdam Z Weitemier
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University, USA
Behav Neurosci 119:1235-43. 2005..EW lesion had no effect on indices of basal metabolic activity, including plasma glucose level and body temperature. These effects suggest that the peptidergic neurons of the EW regulate food consumption...
Expression of c-Fos in Alko alcohol rats responding for ethanol in an operant paradigmA Z Weitemier
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, Oregon 97201, USA
Alcohol Clin Exp Res 25:704-10. 2001..Taken together, these findings confirm that voluntary ethanol self-administration leads to changes in activity of a limited number of brain regions with previously unexamined roles in ethanol sensitivity and addiction...
Urocortin 1 distribution in mouse brain is strain-dependentA Z Weitemier
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Orego Health and Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA
Neuroscience 132:729-40. 2005..We show that the urocortin 1-positive neurons of this brain area form a separate population of cells that we propose to be called the non-preganglionic Edinger-Westphal nucleus...
Lesions of the Edinger-Westphal nucleus in C57BL/6J mice disrupt ethanol-induced hypothermia and ethanol consumptionRyan K Bachtell
Department of Behavioural Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University and Portland Alcohol Research Center, Portland, OR 97239, USA
Eur J Neurosci 20:1613-23. 2004..Taken together, the findings suggest that the EW may function as a sensor for ethanol, which can influence ethanol consumption and preference...
Brain region-specific regulation of urocortin 1 innervation and corticotropin-releasing factor receptor type 2 binding by ethanol exposureAdam Z Weitemier
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University and Portland Alcohol Research Center, Portland, Oregon 97239, USA
Alcohol Clin Exp Res 29:1610-20. 2005..We investigated whether repeated ethanol exposure affects Ucn1 and Ucn1-responsive corticotropin-releasing factor type-2 receptors (CRF2)...
The Edinger-Westphal-lateral septum urocortin pathway and its relationship to alcohol consumptionRyan K Bachtell
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University and Portland Alcohol Research Center, Portland, Oregon 97239, USA
J Neurosci 23:2477-87. 2003..Taken together, these studies provide substantial evidence for involvement of the EW-LS Ucn pathway in alcohol consumption...
Subregion-specific differences in hippocampal activity between Delay and Trace fear conditioning: an immunohistochemical analysisAdam Z Weitemier
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, L470, Oregon Health and Science University, 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road, Portland, OR 97239, USA
Brain Res 995:55-65. 2004..The present study confirms differential activation of hippocampal subregions in Delay and Trace fear conditioning...
Alcohol-induced memory impairment in trace fear conditioning: a hippocampus-specific effectAdam Z Weitemier
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon 97201, USA
Hippocampus 13:305-15. 2003....
The urocortin 1 neurocircuit: ethanol-sensitivity and potential involvement in alcohol consumptionAndrey E Ryabinin
Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University, L470, 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road, Portland, 97239, USA
Brain Res Rev 52:368-80. 2006..This paper reviews the current knowledge of the Ucn1 neurocircuit and the evidence for its involvement in alcohol-related behaviors, and proposes a mechanism for its involvement in the regulation of alcohol consumption...
