Abstract excerpt
This study examined differential freezing behavior, mediated by cholecystokinin-2 (CCK2) receptors (J. M. Farook et al., 2001), in PVG hooded and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats exposed to a predator. The authors confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction that CCK2 receptor expression in the PVG rats was increased in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex compared with that of SD rats. In addition, 4...
