More specifically, GPR3 receptor is expressed in the main brain structures involved in stress-related behaviors such as habenula but also hippocampus, amygdala, limbic system and cortex.
Given the distributed nature of the motor centers in the brain, analyses of the main brain structures provides only indirect support for the hypothesis that sexual selection acts on motor centers; more detailed data on specific brain structures are therefore needed.
The hippocampus has been implicated in both spatial and contextual learning and in emotional behavior in rodents [35], and is a main brain structure affected in mental retardation [1], [22], [36] [38].
Hippocampus is the main brain structure involved in learning and memory, and thought to primarily contribute to the acquisition, consolidation and expression of learning of the drug related cues that drives relapse to drug-seeking behaviors [13], [31].
The main brain of the structure is the central processing unit (CPU) where the operations that are performed are decided upon and controlled.
In diencephalic brain structures, the main amino acids involved in the metabolic pathways catalyzed by NOS, DDAH and arginase were quantified from D5 to D22 after infection.
In brief, the main functions of these six brain structures in the vertebrate brain are as follows: the olfactory bulbs receive olfactory signals, which are then relayed directly to the telencephalon [ 2, 4, 40].
Eigenvector values of the six brain structures on the three main principal component axes (PC1, PC2 and PC3) from a phylogenetic principal components analysis based on the covariance between structures.
Diffuse infiltration of the adjacent brain structures is the main reason that surgical resection is often incomplete, and even hemispherectomy may not prevent glioma recurrence (Burger et al, 1991).
As it is known that progesterone shows a potential negative effect on cognitive performances and can counteract the estradiol-induced neural effects, we intended to study signaling proteins in the hippocampus, a structure representing a main brain area of cognitive function.
By providing stereotaxic coordinates for a number of brain structures in the three main planes of orientation, surgical accuracy could be improved.
