Methamphetamine-induced Fos expression in the substantia nigra pars reticulata in rats with a unilateral 6-OHDA lesion of the nigrostriatal fibers.

abstract：:The periaqueductal gray (PAG)-nucleus retroambiguus (NRA) pathway has been known to be involved in the control of vocalization and sexual behavior. To know how the amygdaloid complex influences the PAG-NRA pathway, here we first examined the synaptic organization between the central amygdaloid nucleus (CeA) fibers and...
