Effects of medial amygdala inactivation on a panic-related behavior

Herdade, Karina Costa Paes; Strauss, Christiana Villela de Andrade; Zangrossi Junior, Helio; Viana, Milena de Barros [UNIFESP] (Elsevier B.V., 2006-09-25)

In the last years, the role played by the medial nucleus of the amygdala (MeA) in the modulation of fear- and anxiety-related behaviors has been increasingly investigated. This nucleus plays an important role in the ...
Facilitation of 5-HT2A/2C-mediated neurotransmission in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus decreases anxiety in the elevated T-maze

Silva, E. S. da [UNIFESP]; Poltronieri, Selma Conceição; Nascimento, Juliana Olivetti Guzman [UNIFESP]; Zangrossi Junior, Helio; Viana, Milena de Barros [UNIFESP] (Elsevier B.V., 2011-01-20)

Previous evidence has shown that facilitation of GABA/benzodiazepine-mediated neurotransmission in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) inhibits both escape and inhibitory avoidance responses generated in the elevated T-maze ...
GABA/benzodiazepine receptors in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus regulate both anxiety and panic-related defensive responses in the elevated T-maze

Bueno, Cintia Heloina; Zangrossi Junior, Helio; Viana, Milena de Barros [UNIFESP] (Elsevier B.V., 2007-09-14)

It has been shown that facilitation of GABA-mediated neurotransmission in the medial nucleus of the amygdala and the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) inhibits the escape, but not the inhibitory avoidance response generated ...
