Arc expression in the parabrachial nucleus following taste stimulation
… central structure in the taste pathway, the nucleus of the solitary tract. This method uses the immediate early gene Arc as a neural activity marker to identify taste-responsive neurons. Arc plays a critical role in memory formation and is necessary for conditioned taste aversion memory …

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
… first synapse of these cranial nerves is in the nucleus of the solitary tract, where gustatory and visceral information are processed separately. From here, taste information is sent to the parabrachial nucleus, where gustatory and visceral information have been shown to overlap. Therefore, the …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Mapping the substrate for brain stimulation reward : new approaches to an old problem
… to the site of stimulation were the arcuate nucleus, ventral tegmental area (VTA), central gray, pedunculopontine area (PPTg), parabrachial nucleus, and locus coeruleus. Among the forebrain structures showing a greater density of labeled neurons ipsilateral to the stimulating electrode were …

MODULATION OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION AT THE NUCLEUS TRACTUS SOLITARIUS
The caudal nucleus tractus solitarius (cNTS) is the key recipient of the primary afferents from visceral sensory neurons and also an important site that processes and integrates gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and respiratory functions. Glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid are the major …

Neuroanatomical Maps and Taste Reactivity to Sweet, Umami, and Bitter Taste in the PBN of C57BL/6J Mice
… cranial nerves then synapse centrally in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) where the relayed taste information is kept relatively segregated from visceral input (which arrives via cranial nerve X). </p> <p>From this point, the taste information is relayed to the parabrachial nucleus …

Spinothalamic tract neurons in laminae I, III and IV of the rat: a retrograde neuronal tracing study
… dorsal horn to the posterior triangular thalamic nucleus (PoT) in the rat has recently been identified. The PoT is located at the caudal end of the thalamus and was not included in injection sites in many previous quantitative retrograde tracing studies of the spinothalamic tract. Therefore, one …

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, …
