Neonatal maternal separation alters reward-related ultrasonic vocalizations in rat damsCarl W Stevenson
School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Nottingham, Queen s Medical Centre, Nottingham NG72UH, UK
Behav Brain Res 200:232-6. 2009..Maternal USV emission also depended on separation duration and pup age. Given that 50-kHz USVs are emitted in response to rewarding stimuli, MS may induce duration-dependent effects on maternal positive affect...- Effects of basolateral amygdala dopamine depletion on the nucleus accumbens and medial prefrontal cortical dopamine responses to stressC W Stevenson
Douglas Hospital Research Centre, McGill University, 6875 Boulevard LaSalle, , , Canada H4H 1R3
Neuroscience 116:285-93. 2003..These findings add to a growing body of evidence of a preferential involvement of right medial prefrontal cortical dopamine in a wide range of physiological responses to stress... 
Early life programming of fear conditioning and extinction in adult male ratsCarl W Stevenson
School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Nottingham, Queen s Medical Centre, Nottingham NG7 2UH, UK
Behav Brain Res 205:505-10. 2009..They also indicate that different early rearing conditions can program varying effects on distinct fear learning and memory processes in adulthood...- Early life programming of innate fear and fear learning in adult female ratsCarl W Stevenson
School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Nottingham, Queen s Medical Centre, Nottingham NG7 2UH, UK
Behav Brain Res 198:51-7. 2009..The present findings of altered cue-conditioned fear learning, in the absence of innate fear changes, lend further support for the important role of the early rearing environment in mediating cognition in adulthood... - Early life programming of hemispheric lateralization and synchronization in the adult medial prefrontal cortexC W Stevenson
School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Nottingham, Queen s Medical Centre, Nottingham, NG7 2UH, UK
Neuroscience 155:852-63. 2008..They also suggest the possibility that early environmental programming of hemispheric functional coupling in mPFC is involved in conferring vulnerability or resilience to stressors later in life... - Early life stress causes FG-7142-induced corticolimbic dysfunction in adulthoodCarl W Stevenson
School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK
Brain Res 1193:43-50. 2008..Given that FG-7142 mimics several behavioral and physiological effects of stress, these results may also model stress-induced corticolimbic dysfunction caused by early life stress... - Systemic administration of the benzodiazepine receptor partial inverse agonist FG-7142 disrupts corticolimbic network interactionsCarl W Stevenson
School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom
Synapse 61:646-63. 2007..Perturbation of mPFC-BLA functional connectivity induced by FG-7142 may provide a useful model of corticolimbic dysfunction induced by stressors... - Effects of neonatal ventral hippocampal lesion in rats on stress-induced acetylcholine release in the prefrontal cortexFrancois Laplante
Douglas Hospital Research Centre, Department of Psychiatry, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
J Neurochem 91:1473-82. 2004..Taken together, these data suggest developmentally specific reorganization of prefrontal cortical cholinergic innervation notably regarding its regulation by DA neurotransmission... - Basolateral amygdala dopamine receptor antagonism modulates initial reactivity to but not habituation of the acoustic startle responseC W Stevenson
Douglas Hospital Research Centre, McGill University, 6875 Boul. LaSalle, , Que, H4H 1R3, Canada
Behav Brain Res 153:383-7. 2004..The present study suggests that while BLA DA is not involved in habituation of the ASR, it may mediate the perceived aversive nature of the initially startling stimuli... - Variations in nucleus accumbens dopamine associated with individual differences in maternal behavior in the ratFrances A Champagne
Developmental Neuroendocrinology Laboratory, Douglas Hospital Research Centre, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec H4H 1R3, Canada
J Neurosci 24:4113-23. 2004..Such differences may serve as neural substrates for individual differences in the motivational component of maternal behavior... - Role of basolateral amygdala dopamine in modulating prepulse inhibition and latent inhibition in the ratC W Stevenson
Douglas Hospital Research Centre, McGill University, 6875 Boulevard LaSalle, H4H 1R3, Montreal (Verdun, QC, Canada
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 176:139-45. 2004..They also suggest that BLA DA is not involved in modulating LI and add to evidence indicating that PPI and LI are mediated by different neural substrates... - Basolateral amygdala modulation of the nucleus accumbens dopamine response to stress: role of the medial prefrontal cortexC W Stevenson
Douglas Hospital Research Centre, McGill University, , , Canada, H4H 1R3
Eur J Neurosci 17:1287-95. 2003..They also suggest that BLA DA modulates stress-induced NAc DA release indirectly by modulating the mPFC DA response to stress... - Role of amygdala-prefrontal cortex circuitry in regulating the expression of contextual fear memoryCarl W Stevenson
School of Biosciences, University of Nottingham, Sutton Bonington Campus, Loughborough LE12 5RD, UK
Neurobiol Learn Mem 96:315-23. 2011..They also raise the possibility that pBLA-PL circuitry is involved in subserving fear memory expression via complex processing mechanisms, although further research is needed to confirm this preliminary finding...
