1. Sleep pattern and learning in knockdown mice with reduced cholinergic neurotransmission
Impaired cholinergic neurotransmission can affect memory formation and influence sleep-wake cycles (SWC). In the present study, we describe the SWC in mice with a deficient vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) system, previously characterized as presenting reduced acetylcholine release and cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions. Continuous, chronic ECo

2. Animal models of anxiety disorders and stress
Anxiety and stress-related disorders are severe psychiatric conditions that affect performance in daily tasks and represent a high cost to public health. The initial observation of Charles Darwin that animals and human beings share similar characteristics in the expression of emotion raise the possibility of studying the mechanisms of psychiatric disorders i

3. Envolvimento de mecanismos glutamatérgicos da substância cinzenta periaquedutal dorsal e do hipotálamo medial no medo condicionado à luz / Involvement of glutamatergic mechanisms of the dorsal periaqueductal gray matter and medial hypothalamus in conditioned fear to the light
A substância cinzenta periaquedutal dorsal (dPAG) e o hipotálamo medial (MH) são duas estruturas encefálicas que estão envolvidas na elaboração de estados aversivos e expressão de respostas defensivas. A estimulação elétrica da dPAG ou do MH produz uma série de respostas comportamentais que se assemelham às respostas defensivas induzidas pela pr

4. ATUAÇÃO DO NÚCLEO INCERTUS NA AQUISIÇÃO E EXTINÇÃO DE MEMÓRIAS DE MEDO CONDICIONADO. / CORE PERFORMANCE IN THE ACQUISITION AND EXTINCTION INCERTUS OF MEMORIES OF FEAR CONDITIONING.
A pesquisa dos mecanismos neurais relacionados à formação das emoções tem crescido nos últimos anos. O medo é um comportamento originado em resposta aos perigos enfrentados pelos animais, tendo sua origem nas reações defensivas exibidas quando da exposição a estímulos ameaçadores. A memória do medo ajuda os animais e os seres humanos a reconhec

5. Dinâmica do sistema córtico-hipocampal durante o condicionamento contextual de medo / Cortico-hippocampal system dynamics during contextual fear conditioning
O estabelecimento das memórias de longo prazo requer uma efetiva comunicação do hipocampo com o neocortex. Um mecanismo plausível envolvido na comunicação neuronal e na plasticidade sináptica é a sincronização da atividade elétrica cerebral na frequência teta. Estudos recentes mostraram que a sincronização entre os ritmos teta do hipocampo e do

6. What ethologically based models have taught us about the neural systems underlying fear and anxiety
Classical Pavlovian fear conditioning to painful stimuli has provided the generally accepted view of a core system centered in the central amygdala to organize fear responses. Ethologically based models using other sources of threat likely to be expected in a natural environment, such as predators or aggressive dominant conspecifics, have challenged this con

7. A participação de diferentes sistemas neuromodulatórios no hipocampo, núcleo basolateral da amígdala e córtex pré-frontal ventromedial na extinção de memórias aversivas
Extinction consists of the learned inhibition of retrieval of previously acquired memory. Many forms of learning are modulated by ¿-noradrenergic, D1-dopaminergic and H2-histaminergic receptors on ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), basolateral amygdala (BLA) and dorsal hippocampus. Therefore, the aim of this work was investigated the modulation of aver

8. Envolvimento de receptores NK-1 e NK-3 no comportamento defensivo induzido pela estimulação elétrica da substância cinzenta periaquedutal dorsal / Involvement of NK-1 and NK-3 receptors on the defensive behavior induced by electrical stimulation of the dorsal periaqueductal gray.
A substância cinzenta periaquedutal dorsal (SCPd) é considerada uma das principais estruturas do teto mesencefálico envolvida no substrato neural da aversão a estímulos proximais. GABA e 5-HT são apontados como neurotransmissores envolvidos na modulação das respostas defensivas elaboradas na SCPd. Recentemente, mecanismos neurocininérgicos também t

9. Gabaergic mechanisms of anterior and ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei in the expression of freezing in response to a light-conditioned stimulus
The amygdala, dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG), and medial hypothalamus have long been recognized to comprise a neural system responsible for the generation and elaboration of unconditioned fear in the brain. This neural substrate is well known to be under tonic inhibitory control exerted by γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mechanisms. Some evidence also suggest

10. Panic-like behaviors in Carioca High-and Low-conditioned Freezing rats
Panic disorder involves both recurrent unexpected panic attacks and persistent concern about having additional attacks. Electrical stimulation of the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) is an animal model of both panic attack and panic disorder, whereas contextual fear conditioning represents a model of anticipatory anxiety. Previous research indicated that an

11. Defense-related emotions in humans
The study of the role of serotonin in anxiety has led to the view that this neurotransmitter enhances anxiety, but inhibits panic. Validation of this hypothesis has been made using two experimental procedures that increase anxiety in human volunteers. One is classical conditioning of the skin electrical conductance response, which is assumed to represent anx

12. Effects of contextual fear conditioning and pentylenetetrazol on panic-like reactions induced by dorsal periaqueductal gray stimulation with N-methyl-D-aspartate
Electrical or chemical stimulation of the dorsal periaqueductal gray (DPAG) has been accepted as an animal model of panic attacks. This study investigates the influence of anticipatory anxiety in the occurrence of panic-like behavior induced by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) microinjection into the DPAG of rats. Behavioral (i.e., contextual fear conditioning) a
