Serotonergic mediation of the effects of fluoxetine, but not desipramine, in the rat forced swimming test

ME Page, MJ Detke, A Dalvi, LG Kirby, I Lucki - Psychopharmacology, 1999 - Springer
Rationale: The forced swimming test (FST) is a behavioral test in rodents that predicts the
clinical efficacy of many types of antidepressant treatments. Recently, a behavior sampling …

Effects of corticotropin-releasing factor on neuronal activity in the serotonergic dorsal raphe nucleus

LG Kirby, KC Rice, RJ Valentino - Neuropsychopharmacology, 2000 - Elsevier
The present study examined the regional localization of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-
and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-immunoreactive (IR) fibers within the rat dorsal raphe …

[HTML][HTML] Effects of corticotropin-releasing factor on brain serotonergic activity

ML Price, AL Curtis, LG Kirby, RJ Valentino… - …, 1998 - Elsevier
The serotonergic dorsal raphe nucleus is innervated by corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)
and expresses CRF receptors, suggesting that endogenous CRF impacts on this system. …

Regional differences in the effects of forced swimming on extracellular levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid

LG Kirby, AR Allen, I Lucki - Brain research, 1995 - Elsevier
The effects of forced swimming for 30 min on extracellular 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels
were examined in five brain regions in rats using in vivo microdialysis. A single dialysis …

Median and dorsal raphe neurons are not electrophysiologically identical

…, YZ Pan, AC Akanwa, LG Kirby - Journal of …, 2004 - journals.physiology.org
The dorsal (DR) and median raphe (MR) nuclei contain 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin, 5-HT)
cell bodies that give rise to the majority of the ascending 5-HT projections to the forebrain …

Interaction between the forced swimming test and fluoxetine treatment on extracellular 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in the rat

LG Kirby, I Lucki - Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental …, 1997 - ASPET
We used in vivo microdialysis to examine extracellular levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)
and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the striatum and the lateral septum during the …

[HTML][HTML] The effects of different stressors on extracellular 5-hydroxytryptamine and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid

LG Kirby, JM Chou-Green, K Davis, I Lucki - Brain research, 1997 - Elsevier
The effects of application of five different stressors on extracellular 5-hydroxytryptamine and
5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in the striatum and hippocampus were compared using in vivo …

[HTML][HTML] Antidepressant-like effects of buprenorphine are mediated by kappa opioid receptors

…, RM Leon, VC Fleites, R Sweeney, LG Kirby… - …, 2016 - nature.com
Previous studies have identified potential antidepressant effects of buprenorphine (BPN), a
drug with high affinity for mu opioid receptor (MORs) and kappa opioid receptors (KORs) and …

Corticotropin-releasing factor increases GABA synaptic activity and induces inward current in 5-hydroxytryptamine dorsal raphe neurons

LG Kirby, E Freeman-Daniels, JC Lemos… - Journal of …, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
Stress-related psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression involve dysfunction of the
serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] system. Previous studies have found that the stress …

The lysophosphatidylinositol receptor GPR55 modulates pain perception in the periaqueductal gray

…, RL Carter, DG Tilley, DJ Kalamarides, LG Kirby… - Molecular …, 2015 - ASPET
Emerging evidence indicates the involvement of GPR55 and its proposed endogenous ligand,
lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), in nociception, yet their role in central pain processing has …
