FUNCTIONAL AND NEUROCHEMICAL IDENTIFICATION OF GHRELIN RECEPTOR (GHSR)-EXPRESSING CELLS OF THE LATERAL PARABRACHIAL NUCLEUS IN MICE

Functional and Neurochemical Identification of Ghrelin Receptor (GHSR)-Expressing Cells of the Lateral Parabrachial Nucleus in Mice

The lateral parabrachial nucleus (lPBN), located in the pons, is a well-recognized anorexigenic center harboring, amongst others, the calcitonin FLORALAX II gene-related peptide (CGRP)-expressing neurons that play a key role.The receptor for the orexigenic hormone ghrelin (the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, GHSR) is also abundantly expressed

Effects of stress or infection on rat behavior show robust reversals due to environmental disturbance [version 2; referees: 2 approved]

Background: The behavior of animals is intricately linked to the environment; a relationship that is often studied in laboratory conditions by using environmental perturbations to study biological mechanisms underlying the behavioral change.Methods: This study pertains to two such well-studied and well-replicated perturbations, i.e., Artificial Pla
