Alzheimer's disease, in contrast, reduced Default Mode Network connectivity to posterior hippocampus, medial cingulo - parieto - occipital regions and
the dorsal raphe nucleus, but intensified Salience Network connectivity.
Ovarian steroids increase spinogenetic proteins in the macaque
dorsal raphe % U http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306452212001042.
Quantitative analysis of glutamatergic innervation of the mouse
dorsal raphe nucleus using array tomography.
Locally collateralizing glutamate neurons in
the dorsal raphe nucleus responsive to substance P contain vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3).
Ovarian steroids increase spinogenetic proteins in the macaque
dorsal raphe.
Nuclear factor kappa B in
the dorsal raphe of macaques: an anatomical link for steroids, cytokines and serotonin.
Nectow and his colleagues zeroed in on
the dorsal raphe nucleus, or DRN, when whole - brain imaging made with iDISCO, an advanced technique developed at Rockefeller, revealed that this part of the brain becomes activated in hungry mice.
His team found that exposing mice to the bacteria, and hence activating their immune system, activated clusters of neurons in their brainstem called
the dorsal Raphe nuclei.
Next steps for the researchers are to explore different regions of the brain with this sensor, including
the dorsal raphe, which produces most of the brain's serotonin.
At the point of orgasm, the brain's
dorsal raphe nucleus area becomes more active.
