Voluntary movement, motivation, and reinforcement learning depend on the activity of ventral midbrain neurons, which extend axons to release dopamine (DA) in striatum. These neurons exhibit two patterns action potential activity: low-frequency tonic that is intrinsically generated superimposed high-frequency phasic bursts are driven by synaptic inputs. Ex vivo acute striatal brain preparations widely employed study regulation evoked DA but very different kinetics than recordings. To...

Locomotor activity was automatically recorded in a circular corridor rats treated with 6-hydroxydopamine the ventral tegmental area (VTA), septum and frontal cortex. Control experimental groups showed similar hyperlocomotor responses novel apparatus lasting 3 h. Circadian changes are described. VTA lesions resulted increased dark large response to apomorphine compared other lesion control groups. Septal did not affect locomotion. The group small increase of locomotion after treatment that...

Abstract Chronic cannabinoid exposure during adolescence in male rats induces chronic cognitive and emotional impairments. However, the impact of this form on offspring vulnerability to stress is unknown. The aim study was evaluate behavioural epigenetic effects whose fathers were exposed cannabinoids adolescence. Male adolescent Win55,212‐2 (1.2 mg/kg) treated one week variable stressors subjected tests anxiety episodic‐like memory, followed by an assessment global DNA methylation...

University life is a crucial period when dietary habits and lifestyle behaviours are formed may have long-lasting effects on the development of obesity related chronic diseases.To investigate association overweight/obesity with habits, physical activity, screen time sleep duration among university students.A total 438 students aged 18-26 years were recruited from Mohammed V in Rabat, Morocco. Anthropometric measurements assessed using standardized equipment. Data regarding sedentary...

The Culex pipiens mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) is highly suspected to be the vector responsible for spread of several parasitic and viral diseases. use synthetic insecticides generally preferred method controlling these mosquitoes’ proliferation. However, it has led resistance problems in target mosquitoes environmental damage. Hence, diverse plant extracts could considered as an alternative potential source control agents. In this study, essential oils Lavandula angustifolia subsp. dentata...

Culex mosquitoes, as nuisance insects and primary vectors of disease, present an important risk to animal human health. The aim the study was evaluate larvicidal potential various extracts (ethanolic, hydro-ethanolic, essential oil) Syzygium aromaticum (clove) against larvae pipiens. Ethanolic hydro-ethanolic from were prepared by ultrasonication, their composition determined phytochemical screening. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) performed characterize oil, which produced...
