1. Galanin : a modulator of serotonin neurotransmission : relevance for depression
Abstract : Galanin is widely distributed throughout the central nervous system with multiple and diverse biological roles. In the rat, galanin-like immunoreactivity is expressed in a population of5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) neurons in the dorsal raphe (DR) with extensive projections to the forebrain areas e.g., hippocampus.

2. Modulation of acetylcholine release by serotonergic 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors : a microdialysis study in the awake rat
Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to investigate the effects of the 5-HT1A receptor antagonist robalzotan (NAD-299) and the 5-HT1B receptor antagonist NAS-181 ((R)-(+)-2-(3-morpholinomethyl-2Hchromen-8-yl) oxymethyl-morpholine methanesulfonate) on cholinergic, glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission in the rat brain in vivo. The extracellular levels of acetylcholine (ACh), glutamate (Glu) and GABA were monitored by microdialysis in the frontal cortex (FC) and ventral hippocampus (VHipp) in separate groups of awake rats.
