Background Behavioral stress is recognized as a main risk factor for neuropsychiatric
diseases. Converging evidence suggested that acute stress is associated with increase of …

… Giulio Levi and Maurizio Raiteri review the in vitro and in vivo evidence supporting the
existence of a carrier-mediated release for different classes of transmitters. While the …

A simple superfusion technique for studying the release of neurotransmitters from preloaded
synaptosomes is described. As compared with previously described procedures the method …

Glutamate neurotransmission was recently implicated in the action of stress and in antidepressant
mechanisms. We report that chronic (not acute) treatment with three antidepressants …

The existence on glutamatergic nerve endings of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)
mediating enhancement of glutamate release has often been suggested but not …

The interaction of sympathomimetic amines with the transport of 3 H-noradrenaline ( 3 H-NE),
3 H-dopamine ( 3 H-DA) and 3 H-5-hydroxytriptamine ( 3 H-5-HT) were investigated in rat …

Superfused synaptosomes have been utilized in studies of neurotransmitter release during
25 years. This review summarizes the aspects of neurotransmission that have been and …

The existence of multiple muscarinic receptors in the brain was investigated by using
neurotransmitter release as a functional parameter and by comparing the effects of agonists and …

The existence of presynaptic autoreceptors controlling the release of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT)
from serotonergic nerve endings was investigated utilizing superfused hypthalamic …

To understand the events underlying the clinical efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of
the subthalamic nucleus (STN), electrophysiological recordings and microdialysis …
