Role of glutamate NMDA receptors and nitric oxide located within the periaqueductal gray on defensive behaviors in mice confronted by predator
TLDR
Findings suggest a potential role of glutamate NMDA receptors and NO in the dPAG in the regulation of defensive behaviors in mice during a confrontation with a predator in the rat exposure test (RET).
Interplay between glutamate and serotonin within the dorsal periaqueductal gray modulates anxiety-related behavior of rats exposed to the elevated plus-maze
Lack of interaction between NMDA and cholecystokinin-2 receptor-mediated neurotransmission in the dorsolateral periaqueductal gray in the regulation of rat defensive behaviors.
Involvement of dorsolateral periaqueductal gray N-methyl-D-aspartic acid glutamate receptors in the regulation of risk assessment and inhibitory avoidance behaviors in the rat elevated T-maze
TLDR
The present results suggest that the dorsolateral periaqueductal gray column is also involved in the regulation of defensive behaviors related to anxiety, and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid glutamate receptors are recruited for this action.
Anxiolytic-like effects of NMDA/glycine-B receptor ligands are abolished during the elevated plus-maze trial 2 in rats
TLDR
The present findings favor the hypothesis in which the OTT phenomenon emerge as a consequence of the development and adoption of an anxiolytic-insensitive behavioral strategy, and emphasize the repeated test exposure rather than repeated drug administration as a critical determinant for the drug anxIOlytic activity.

The dorsolateral periaqueductal grey N-methyl-D-aspartate/nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway modulates the expression of contextual fear conditioning in rats
TLDR
Findings suggest that activity of dlPAG NMDA/NO/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway facilitates the expression of contextual fear responses.

TLDR

TLDR
It is demonstrated that compounds that act at strychnine-insensitive glycine receptors do not impair learning and memory at doses that are anxiolytic in a single-trial punishment paradigm.
