Attenuation of fear‐conditioned analgesia in rats by monoacylglycerol lipase inhibition in the anterior cingulate cortex: Potential role for CB2 receptors
(The British Pharmacological Society, 2020-01-22)Improved understanding of brain mechanisms regulating endogenous analgesia is important from a fundamental physiological perspective and for identification of novel therapeutic strategies for pain. The endocannabinoid ... -
Differential role of anterior cingulate cortical glutamatergic neurons in pain-related aversion learning and nociceptive behaviors in male and female rats
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-11)Pain is comprised of both sensory and affective components. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is a key brain region involved in the emotional processing of pain. Specifically, glutamatergic transmission within the ACC ... -
Effects of arterial cannulation stress on regional cerebral blood flow in major depressive disorder
(Springer Nature, 2012-03-08)Individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) display abnormal neurophysiological responses to psychological stress but little is known about their neurophysiological responses to physiological stressors. Using [O-15]-H2O ... -
Optogenetic investigations into the role of glutamatergic neurons of the anterior cingulate cortex in sensory and affective components of pain
(NUI Galway, 2019-11-15)Pain consists of sensory-discriminative and affective-motivational components, which can share a reciprocal relationship. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) plays an important role in top-down control and the affective ... -
The association of white matter volume in psychotic disorders with genotypic variation in nrg1, mog and cnp: a voxel-based analysis in affected individuals and their unaffected relatives
(Springer Nature, 2012-10-01)We investigated the role of variation in putative psychosis genes coding for elements of the white matter system by examining the contribution of genotypic variation in three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) neuregulin ...
