Discussion boards for Professor Anderson's online class were basically an essay for each. There were lots of questions for each discussion board and she wants a lot of detail for each question. Do not take her unless you enjoy writing for discussion boards. I would not take this teacher again.

    My dissertation research focused on the impacts that lifestyle factors have on cognitive decline and associated pathologies in transgenic murine models of Alzheimer’s disease. I used a wide range of behavioral and biochemical techniques in order to investigate potential cognitive

    pathological and neuronal changes that follow various forms of environmental interventions.

    Galanin

    through GalR1 but not GalR2 receptors

    decreases motivation at times of high appetitive behavior.

    John K. Robinson

    Ulo Langel

    Galanin is a 29/30-amino acid long neuropeptide that has been implicated in many physiological and behavioral functions. Previous research has shown that i.c.v. administration of galanin strongly stimulates food intake in sated rats when food is freely available

    but fails to stimulate this consumption when an operant response requirement is present. Using fixed ratio (FR) schedules

    we sought to further clarify galanin's role in motivated behavior by administering galanin i.c.v. to rats working on fixed ratio schedules requiring either a low work condition (FR1) or higher work conditions (FR > 1) to obtain a 0.2% saccharin reward. Rats in the FR > 1 group were assigned to either an FR3

    FR5 or FR7 schedule of reinforcement. The rate of reinforcement decreased for only the FR > 1 group as compared to saline controls. Furthermore

    injections of GalR1 receptor agonist M617 led to a similar

    marginally significant decrease in the number of reinforcers received in the FR > 1 condition

    but a decrease was not seen after injections of GalR2 receptor agonist M1153. Taken together

    these results show that galanin may be playing a role in decreasing motivation at times of high appetitive behavior

    and that this effect is likely mediated by the GalR1 receptor.

    Galanin

    through GalR1 but not GalR2 receptors

    decreases motivation at times of high appetitive behavior.
