Different contribution of the lateral bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in intrahippocampal neostigmine-induced elevation of plasma glucose and adrenocorticotropic hormone in free moving rats.
OBJECTIVE: In our previous study, a lesion in the lateral bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNSTL) was found to significantly attenuate the elevation of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in plasma during microinjectin of neostigmine, an inhibitor of acetylcholine esterase, into the rat hippocampus. The current study was designed to .....
