Differential sensitivity to the wake-promoting actions of norepinephrine within the medial preoptic area and the substantia innominata.

abstract：:Mu-opioid receptors in the ventrolateral quadrant midbrain periaqueductal gray (vIPAG) contribute to extinction of conditioned fear. The present experiment studied whether fear extinction could be facilitated by infusions of a peptidase inhibitor that reduces catabolism of vIPAG enkephalins. Rats were trained to fear ...
