Hyperfunction of the dopamine system has been implicated in manic episodes in bipolar disorders. How dopaminergic neuronal function is regulated in the pathogenesis of mania remains unclear. Histaminergic neurons project dense efferents into the midbrain dopaminergic nuclei.

The zebrafish, Danio rerio, is a widely adopted in vivo model that conserves organs such as the liver, kidney, stomach, and brain, being, therefore, suitable for studying human diseases, drug discovery and toxicology. The brain aminergic systems are also conserved and the histamine H, H and H receptors were previously cloned and identified in the zebrafish brain. Genome studies identified another putative H receptor (Hrh2) with ∼50% sequence identity with H receptor orthologs.

Diazepam administration has been shown to influence the release of histamine in various brain areas involved in motor behavior. Therefore, the present study explored the plausible regulatory role of the central histaminergic system in diazepam-induced deficits in motor performance in mice using the rota-rod and beam walking tests. In this study, several doses of diazepam (0.

Histamine is a major neurotransmitter and alleviates neuronal damage after ischemic injury via H receptors. Herein, we investigated the effects of H receptor agonists on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Male ddY mice were used to generate the TBI model, in which a fluid percussion injury (FPI) was induced by a hydraulic impact.

Novel targets for treating feeding-related diseases are of great importance, and histamine has long been considered an anorexigenic agent. However, understanding its functions in feeding in a circuit-specific way is still limited. Here, we report a medial septum (MS)-projecting histaminergic circuit mediating feeding behavior.
