1.
The lateral hypothalamus and orexinergic transmission in the paraventricular thalamus promote the attribution of incentive salience to reward-associated cues
Haight J, Campus P, Maria-Rios C, Johnson A, Klumpner M, Kuhn B, et al.
Psychopharmacology (Berl) . 2020 Aug; 237(12):3741-3758. PMID: 32852601
Rationale: Prior research suggests that the neural pathway from the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) to the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) mediates the attribution of incentive salience to Pavlovian...
2.
The paraventricular thalamus is a critical mediator of top-down control of cue-motivated behavior in rats
Campus P, Covelo I, Kim Y, Parsegian A, Kuhn B, Lopez S, et al.
Elife . 2019 Sep; 8. PMID: 31502538
Cues in the environment can elicit complex emotional states, and thereby maladaptive behavior, as a function of their ascribed value. Here we capture individual variation in the propensity to attribute...
3.
Transient inactivation of the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus enhances cue-induced reinstatement in goal-trackers, but not sign-trackers
Kuhn B, Klumpner M, Covelo I, Campus P, Flagel S
Psychopharmacology (Berl) . 2017 Dec; 235(4):999-1014. PMID: 29285634
Rationale: The paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) has been shown to mediate cue-motivated behaviors, such as sign- and goal-tracking, as well as reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior. However, the role...

Manipulation of GABA in the ventral pallidum, but not the nucleus accumbens, induces intense, preferential, fat consumption in rats
Covelo I, Patel Z, Luviano J, Stratford T, Wirtshafter D
Behav Brain Res . 2014 May; 270:316-25. PMID: 24867334
Injections of the GABAA antagonist bicuculline into the medial ventral pallidum (VPm) induce marked increases in food intake, but nothing is known about the way in which these injections alter...
5.
Effects of muscimol in the nucleus accumbens shell on salt appetite and sucrose intake: a microstructural study with a comment on the sensitization of salt intake
Wirtshafter D, Covelo I, Salija I, Stratford T
Behav Neurosci . 2012 Aug; 126(5):699-709. PMID: 22889311
Previous work has demonstrated that injections of the γ-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) agonist muscimol into the nucleus accumbens shell (AcbSh) induce pronounced increases in the intake of solid foods and sucrose...
6.
GABA(A) and dopamine receptors in the nucleus accumbens shell differentially influence performance of a water-reinforced progressive ratio task
Covelo I, Wirtshafter D, Stratford T
Pharmacol Biochem Behav . 2011 Dec; 101(1):57-61. PMID: 22155440
Several authors have shown that injections of the GABA(A) agonist muscimol into the medial shell region of the nucleus accumbens (AcbSh) result in large increases in food, but not water,...
7.
Lower number of cerebellar Purkinje neurons in psychosis is associated with reduced reelin expression
Maloku E, Covelo I, Hanbauer I, Guidotti A, Kadriu B, Hu Q, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2010 Feb; 107(9):4407-11. PMID: 20150511
Reelin is an extracellular matrix protein synthesized in cerebellar granule cells that plays an important role in Purkinje cell positioning during cerebellar development and in modulating adult synaptic function. In...
