The concept of stress is based on the observation that different types of stimuli (endogenous or extern to the subject), that might threaten the organism homeostasis, activate a series of physiological alterations named "general adaptation syndrome". The term stimulus (or stressor) corresponds to the events or circunstances that are perceived as aversive by the subject and that generate…
Studies aimed at the neurobiology of anxiety have, during the last years, dedicated considerable attention to the role played by different neurochemical systems on the modulation of defensive responses to aversive stimuli. In this sense, the important role played by serotonin (5-HT) has been emphasized by the clinical efficacy of serotonergic drugs for the treatment of different anxiety…
The concept of stress is based on the observation that any environmental change, either external or internal, can disturb the maintenance of homeostasis/allostasis, causing a series of physiological alterations, the so-called "general adaptation syndrome". The purpose of the stress reaction is to maintain homeostasis/allostasis, which includes physiological reactions such as endocrine act…

One of the main neurochemical systems related to anxiety and panic responses is the serotonergic system, arising from the Dorsal Raphe nucleus (DR). Previous evidence suggests that the DR is not homogeneous, but a group of distinct neuronal subpopulations, with morphological and functional differences. The serotonergic (5-HT) neurons of the dorsal region of the dorsal raphe (DRD) seem to …
Previous results obtained using Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) applied to the dorsal portion of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DDR) and to the lateral wings (alDRN) of the same structure in rats showed anxiolytic-like effects of DRD stimulation and panicolytic-like effects of the stimulation of the alDRN in the elevated T-maze model (ETM). In addition, the DBS technique also increased c-Fos prot…
Crack cocaine was introduced in Brazil in the late 1980s or early 1990s, and its use has dramatically increased in recent decades for all socioeconomic groups. Today, Brazil is also the largest world market for crack cocaine. Crack users have a worse prognosis when compared to users of other illicit drugs because the drug causes a more serious dependency. Drug dependence is a chronic and …
Environmental enrichment (EE) consists of an animal management technique with temporal, physical, social and sensory strategies, aimed at offering a series of incentives that can increase comfort and adaptability, both physiological and psychological, of laboratory animals. The effects of EE can be assessed by exposing animals to different behavioral tests. Among its different application…

Previous evidence suggests that the DR is not homogeneous, but a group of distinct neuronal subpopulations, with morphological and functional differences. The dorsal region of the dorsal raphe (DRD) seems to be critically involved with the re…
