The duration of active escape behavior is regulated by the neurons releasing the corticotropin-releasing hormone from the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. Recently we found that the 2% salt intake for 5 days decreased the duration of TMT-induced active escape behaviors and … Show more
