The incerto-hypothalamic area (IHy) is a diencephalic region poorly studied which is characterized by two non-colocalized neurochemical groups composed by the A13 dopaminergic group intermingled with predominantly GABAergic cells co-expressing melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and/or cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript (CART). Functional studies suggest that IHy is involved in …
Motivated behaviors are fundamental to the individual's survival or to the species and, therefore, accompanied of high degree of motivation. The defensive behavior is one of the types of motivated behavior and it can be evaluated experimentally through the exposure of the animal to its natural predator. Previous works using this paradigm associated to the analysis of the expression of the…
This proposal represents a three month training experience for the application of immunocytochemistry (ICC, single and double labeling) and in situ hybridization (ISH, using biotinylated riboprobes). The focus of the immunocytochemical approaches will be to apply analysis of peptide expression for the melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) with that of the immediate early gene product Fos in…
