Arc expression in the parabrachial nucleus following taste stimulation
… primary target for gustatory NTS neurons is the parabrachial nucleus (PbN) and, like Arc, the PbN plays an important role in conditioned taste aversion learning. The aim of this thesis is to investigate Arc expression in the PbN following taste stimulation to elucidate the molecular identity and …

Lateral Parabrachial Choline Acetyltransferase Neurons and the Decision to Eat
… hormonal, and metabolic signals. The lateral parabrachial nucleus is a brain structure in the pons that integrates multiple aspects of food choice. It receives information from the homeostatic melanocortin hypothalamic system and projects to the mesolimbic dopamine reward system. The lateral …

Uncovering a Monosynaptic Trigemino-parabrachial Circuit Facilitating Heightened Craniofacial Pain Perception
… pain remains unknown. Interestingly, the lateral parabrachial nucleus (PBL), a critical node in the affective pain circuit, is activated more strongly by noxious stimulation of the face than of the hindpaw. Using a novel activity-dependent technology called CANE developed in our laboratory, we …

Effects of Gestational and Lactational Exposure to 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-P-Dioxin or Coplanar PCBs on Reproductive Development and Sexually Dimorphic Behaviors in Rats
… antiestrogenic effects of these chemicals in the parabrachial nucleus of female rats.

A Behavioral and Anatomical Analysis of Conditioned Taste Aversion in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J Mice
… From here, taste information is sent to the parabrachial nucleus, where gustatory and visceral information have been shown to overlap. Therefore, the parabrachial nucleus is a key site of investigation concerning CTA, as it may be the first area where taste and gastrointestinal cues converge, …

Organisation of Glutamatergic Inputs to Central amygdala
… of CeA (CeLC) is a dominant direct recipient of parabrachial inputs, constituting a pathway that has been implicated in pain. However, molecular mechanisms at PB-CeLC synapses driving nociception remains unclear. In present study, we demonstrate the role of synaptic organizer glutamate receptor …

Circadian activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis may affect central, but not peripheral, effect of lithium in conditioned taste aversion learning in rats
… and increased c-Fos expression in both the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) and the nucleus tractus of solitarius (NTS) in a dose dependent manner. However, intracerebroventricular lithium (0.6 M, 5 µl) at night failed to induce CTA or the HPA axis activation, although it increased c-Fos …

MODULATION OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION AT THE NUCLEUS TRACTUS SOLITARIUS
… send axonal projections to brain regions such as parabrachial nucleus (PBN), hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), nucleus ambiguous (NA), dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) and the caudal ventrolateral medulla (CVLM) and are involved in integrating autonomic and neuroendocrine …

Neuroanatomical Maps and Taste Reactivity to Sweet, Umami, and Bitter Taste in the PBN of C57BL/6J Mice
… point, the taste information is relayed to the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) in the pons, where the taste and visceral information now overlap. The PBN has not been studied as extensively as the NST in terms of taste representation, especially in regards to umami taste. A few recent studies have …

Spinothalamic tract neurons in laminae I, III and IV of the rat: a retrograde neuronal tracing study
… lamina are also known to project to the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPb) and the periaqueductal grey matter (PAG). Other aims of the study were to quantify neurons in lamina I in the cervical enlargement that project to the LPb and PAG, to determine the proportion of lamina I spinothalamic …

An Interface of the Taste and Reward Systems in the Brainstem and Its Role in Feeding
… in our lab showed that the neurons of the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) projected to the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and lesioning the PBN attenuates taste-elicited release of DA in the nucleus accumbens, we hypothesized this connection plays a crucial role in the control of feeding, …
