1. 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

2. Dorsal periaqueductal gray stimulation facilitates anxiety-, but not panic-related, defensive responses in rats tested in the elevated T-maze
The escape response to electrical or chemical stimulation of the dorsal periaqueductal gray matter (DPAG) has been associated with panic attacks. In order to explore the validity of the DPAG stimulation model for the study of panic disorder, we determined if the aversive consequences of the electrical or chemical stimulation of this midbrain area can be dete

3. New perspective on the pathophysiology of panic: merging serotonin and opioids in the periaqueductal gray
Panic disorder patients are vulnerable to recurrent panic attacks. Two neurochemical hypotheses have been proposed to explain this susceptibility. The first assumes that panic patients have deficient serotonergic inhibition of neurons localized in the dorsal periaqueductal gray matter of the midbrain that organize defensive reactions to cope with proximal th

4. Contrasting effects of nitric oxide and corticotropin- releasing factor within the dorsal periaqueductal gray on defensive behavior and nociception in mice
The anxiogenic and antinociceptive effects produced by glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activation within the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) matter have been related to nitric oxide (NO) production, since injection of NO synthase (NOS) inhibitors reverses these effects. dPAG corticotropin-releasing factor receptor (CRFr) activation also induces anx

5. Towards a translational model of panic attack
About 20 years ago, Deakin and Graeff proposed that whereas generalized anxiety disorder is produced by the overactivity of 5-HT excitatory projections from dorsal raphe nucleus to the areas of prefrontal cortex and amygdala which process distal threat, panic attacks are a dysfunction of 5-HT inhibitory projections from dorsal raphe nucleus to the dorsal per

6. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in anxiety and panic
This review article focuses on the differential activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in generalized anxiety and panic. The results of experimental studies that assayed adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol and prolactin show that real-life panic attacks as well as those induced by selective panicogenic agents, such as lactate and carbo

7. O nucleo accumbens e a substancia cinzenta periaquedutal modulam de modo distinto a hiperalgesia inflamatoria cronica e aguda em ratos / Periaqueductal gray matter and nucleous accumbens differently modulate chronic and acute hyperalgia in rats
A modulação da dor pelo sistema nervoso central (SNC) consiste na inibição ou facilitação da excitabilidade do corno dorsal da coluna espinhal. O núcleo Accumbens (Nacc) e a Substância Cinzenta Periaquedutal (PAG) são duas importantes estruturas envolvidas na modulação da dor pelo SNC. A proposta deste estudo foi investigar o papel destas estrutur

8. Maternal aggression in Wistar rats: effect of 5-HT2A/2C receptor agonist and antagonist microinjected into the dorsal periaqueductal gray matter and medial septum
The objective of the present study was to assess the role of the 5-HT2A/2C receptor at two specific brain sites, i.e., the dorsal periaqueductal gray matter (DPAG) and the medial septal (MS) area, in maternal aggressive behavior after the microinjection of either a 5-HT2A/2C receptor agonist or antagonist. Female Wistar rats were microinjected on the 7th pos
