Abstract

We studied the role of central amygdala CRH receptors in behavioral responses to an anxiogenic stimulus. An antisense oligodeoxynucleotide corresponding to the rat CRH1 receptor mRNA was infused chronically into the central amygdaloid nucleus of male rats via osmotic minipumps (0.25 micrograms/0.5 microliters/h). Control groups received infusions of either a scrambled sequence oligodeoxynucleotide or vehicle. On the 4th day of treatment, rats were subjected to 10 min of social defeat and immediately afterwards tested on the elevated plus-maze. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotide-treated rats spent significantly more time exploring the open arms of the plus-maze than scrambled sequence- and vehicle-treated animals, both of which did not differ from each other. The social discrimination test, on the other hand, revealed no difference in juvenile recognition abilities among the treatment groups. Using in situ hybridization and receptor autoradiography, we were not able to detect clear signals of CRH1 receptor mRNA and CRH binding sites in the central amygdaloid nucleus of either group, confirming the reportedly low expression and density of CRH receptors in this brain area. The present data support the view that CRH receptors in the central nucleus of the amygdala are involved in the mediation and expression of anxiety-related behavior, but simultaneously raise questions as to the mechanisms of antisense oligodeoxynucleotide action.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
