It was established in chronic experiments on dogs that the introduction of neurotensin in a dose of 3 or 10 micrograms in 1.5 microliters into the caudate nucleus changes the parameters of the conditioned and unconditioned food reflexes: a 31% shortening of the latent period and a 56% increase in the magnitude of the reflex. Microapplication of neurotensin in the same doses in the posterior region of the hypothalamus enhanced the secretory function of the gland caused by the introduction of histamine. It was concluded that the caudate nucleus and hypothalamus contain cells possessing receptors for neurotensin, which participate in mechanisms of formation of the conditioned reflex and central influence on the organs of the digestive system.

Quantitative Assessment of Deep Gray Matter Susceptibility and Correlation With Cognition in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis.

Department of Radiology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Background And Objectives: Accumulation of metals quantified by quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) in deep gray matter (DGM) and their impact on cognition have not been studied in patients with liver cirrhosis. This study aims to use QSM to investigate the association between DGM susceptibility and cognition in cirrhotic patients.
Methods: Thirty cirrhotic patients and 30 age-, gender-, and education-matched controls were imaged using a multiecho gradient-echo sequence for QSM analysis in a 3T scanner.
Differential striatal dopamine binding in Parkinson's Disease with and without REM sleep behavior disorder: A Tc-99 m TRODAT-1 SPECT study.

Background: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is an early and significant prodromal marker for Parkinson's disease (PD). While the association between RBD and PD has been well-documented, the underlying pathophysiology differentiating PD patients with RBD (PD-RBD +) from those without RBD (PD-RBD-) remained unclear. This study aims to investigate the possible relationship between RBD and striatal dopamine depletion in de novo PD patients.

Unlabelled: Background Monosodium glutamate (MSG) in its anionic form, glutamate, is one of the main excitatory amino acids. Excess of this neurotransmitter may lead to excitotoxicity affecting neurons and astrocytes responsible for glutamate metabolism in different brain areas of animals. The aim of the study was to investigate the immunoreactivity of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S100β protein in the caudate nucleus of rats under the condition of elevated glutamate levels.

Aims: Over the recent decades, smoking among women has become an increasingly pressing public health challenge. Mounting evidence suggests that, compared to men, women's smoking is more strongly influenced by habitual responses to sensorimotor cues. To understand the brain mechanisms underlying the cessation challenges commonly reported by women who smoke, the present study used voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to investigate sex-related volumetric differences in the dorsal striatum, a region implicated in habitual substance use behavior, and their associations with self-reported quit interest among daily smoking adults.

The present study investigated the neuromodulatory substrates of salience processing and its impact on memory encoding and behaviour, with a specific focus on two distinct types of salience: reward and contextual unexpectedness. 46 Participants performed a novel task paradigm modulating these two aspects independently and allowing for investigating their distinct and interactive effects on memory encoding while undergoing high-resolution fMRI. By using advanced image processing techniques tailored to examine midbrain and brainstem nuclei with high precision, our study additionally aimed to elucidate differential activation patterns in subcortical nuclei in response to reward-associated and contextually unexpected stimuli, including distinct pathways involving in particular dopaminergic modulation.
