Stimulation of glutamate receptors in the ventral tegmental area is necessary for serotonin-2 receptor-induced increases in mesocortical dopamine release.

Pehek EA1, Hernan AE2.
Neuroscience.Neuroscience.2015 Apr 2;290:159-64. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2015.01.029. Epub 2015 Jan 28.
Modulation of dopamine (DA) released by serotonin-2 (5-HT2) receptors has been implicated in the mechanism of action of antipsychotic drugs. The mesocortical DA system has been implicated particularly in the cognitive deficits observed in schizophrenia. Agonism at 5-HT2A receptors in the prefrontal

Testicular steroidogenesis is locally regulated by androgen via suppression of Nur77.

Song CH1, Gong EY, Park Js, Lee K.
Biochemical and biophysical research communications.Biochem Biophys Res Commun.2012 Jun 1;422(2):327-32. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2012.04.161. Epub 2012 May 7.
Steroidogenesis in the testis is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism through the hypothalamus-pituitary-testis axis. Recent studies suggest that besides this long-loop regulation, testicular steroidogenesis is also locally regulated by androgen. However, the molecular mechanism behind this ad

Endocannabinoids and prostaglandins both contribute to GnRH neuron-GABAergic afferent local feedback circuits.

Glanowska KM1, Moenter SM.
Journal of neurophysiology.J Neurophysiol.2011 Dec;106(6):3073-81. doi: 10.1152/jn.00046.2011. Epub 2011 Sep 14.
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons form the final common pathway for central control of fertility. Regulation of GnRH neurons by long-loop gonadal steroid feedback through steroid receptor-expressing afferents such as GABAergic neurons is well studied. Recently, local central feedback cir
