Abstract Early-life stress (ELS) arising from physical and emotional abuse disrupts normal brain development impairs hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis function, increasing the risk of psychopathological disorders compulsive behaviors in adulthood. However, underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. The brainstem nucleus incertus (NI) is a highly stress-sensitive locus, involved behavioral activation stress-induced reward (food/alcohol) seeking, but its sensitivity to ELS remains...
Rodents detect chemical information mainly through the olfactory and vomeronasal systems, which play complementary roles to orchestrate appropriate behavioral responses. To characterize integration of chemosensory information, we have performed electrophysiological c-Fos studies bulbo-amygdalar network in freely behaving female mice exploring neutral or conspecific stimuli. We hypothesize that processing conspecifics stimuli requires both thus our results will show shared patterns activity...
The motor cortex comprises the primary descending circuits for flexible control of voluntary movements and is critically involved in skill learning. Motor learning impaired patients with Parkinson's disease, but precise mechanisms are still not well understood. Here we have used transgenic mice, electrophysiology, situ hybridization, neural tract-tracing methods to target genetically defined cell types expressing D1 D2 dopamine receptors cortex. We observed that putative receptor-expressing...

Motor learning impaired patients with Parkinson’s disease, but precise mechanisms are still not well understood.
