The effect of VTA-directed injections of SB-334867 (0 or 3 μg) on locomotor activity was also assessed. Intra-VTA, but not -PVT, SB-334867 dose-dependently attenuated S⁺-induced reinstatement (3 μg dose, p<0.01). Intra-VTA SB-334867 had no effect on locomotor activity. We conclude that OrxR1 signalling within the VTA, but not the PVT, mediates cue-induced cocaine-seeking behaviour. We hypothesize that blockade of VTA OrxR1 signalling may reduce nucleus accumbens dopamine in response to drug cue presentation.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:48:59 AEST ]]> Investigating the effects of inflammation on dopaminergic neurons in the lipopolysaccharide model of Parkinson’s disease https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37481 Thu 28 Jan 2021 17:32:55 AEDT ]]> The effect of social defeat on tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation in the rat brain and adrenal gland https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12480 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:17:19 AEDT ]]>
