Buttoned Up

4 years ago, I had a student named Aaron in my Anatomy/Physiology class that had mad swag. His wardrobe didn’t change all that often, but man, that kid had (probably still has) some serious style. He always looked mature, fly, and chic all at the same time. It took me all year, but I finally put my finger on why he had such swag: He always buttoned his shirts up to the top button. It looked great, in a slightly nerdy, chic kind of way. After that year, I started doing the same. I button it all the way up. I borrowed some of his swag, and I still like the look, 4 years later.Axon terminals containing tyrosine hydroxylase- and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase immunoreactivity form synapses with galanin immunoreactive neurons in the lateral division of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in the rat.
Catecholaminergic projections from brainstem sources to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis play a central role in the neurochemically mediated modulation/regulation of stress response. The lateral division of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTL) exhibits several galanin immunoreactive (ir) neurons that are also central in the modulatory control of acute stress responses. The distribution of galaninergic nervous structures overlaps with that of the dopaminergic and noradrenergic axon terminals in the BSTL. Since both monoamines and galanin regulate/modulate the central regulatory pathways of endocrine, behavioral and physiological responses during stress, the aim of this study was to demonstrate
