| | NIDA - The Intersection of Stress, Drug Abuse, and Development -Abstracts |
 | | Studies of drug self-administration in laboratory animals have shown that both physical and psychological stressors facilitate the acquisition of drug self-administration, probably by increasing the reinforcing efficacy of drugs of abuse. | | | Stress research has contributed to showing that the biological status of an individual plays an important role in determining a propensity for developing drug self-administration and has highlighted the importance of environmental experiences in inducing a drug-prone phenotype. | | | The adrenal hormones, glucocorticoids, which increase the sensitivity of mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons to drugs, seem to be one of the biological substrates of the effects of stress on the propensity to develop drug-intake. |

| | Chapter 17 - Activities Involving the Cerebral Hemispheres |
| | A normal person, presented with "pro" to the right ear and "duct" to the left ear in quick succession, hears "product." The split-brain patient hears "pro" with the left hemisphere and "duct" with the right. | | | He cannot, however, fuse two sounds, one presented to each ear. | | | Under conditions where the brain has been surgically split, it is possible, provided that the eyes do not move, to direct visual stimuli to each hemisphere independently because of the pattern of crossing of optic tract fibers in the optic chiasm. |

| | Bipolar Disorder and Somatostatin Receptor 5 -- Neurotransmitter.net |
| | Overall, the discriminately differing densities of neurons expressing both subtypes seem to point to this system as a key molecular basis accounting for the distinct neurophysiological and behavioral sst-dependent activities in Coris julis. | | | The predominance of sstr5-like in other brain areas is confirmed by the high quantities of this subtype in mesencephalic areas such as the torus longitudinalis (TLo). | | | Application of the above nonpeptidyl agonists permitted us to identify sstr2-like as the predominant subtype in telencephalic areas such as the entopeduncular nucleus (E) and postcommissural nucleus of the ventral telencephalon (Vp) as well as in hypothalamic and thalamic areas. |

| | PAX2 - Paired box protein Pax-2 |
| | Both Pax6.1 and Pax6.2 are able to induce ectopic eyes in Drosophila, while Pax2 is not, suggesting that eye induction is not a general feature of Pax family genes but a distinct characteristic of Pax6 and its direct homologs. | | | Because PAX2 gene mutations were detected in papillorenal syndrome, alternation of PAX2 function by PAX6 mutations may affect phenotypic manifestations of optic-nerve malformations. | | | However, GDNF replacement in organ culture is not sufficient to stimulate ureteric bud outgrowth from Pax2 mutant nephric ducts, indicating additional defects in the nephric duct epithelium of Pax2 mutants. |
