Distribution and activation of nitrergic neurons in response to aversive stimulus exposure in the Tropidurus hispidus lizard: Involvement of glutamatergic circuitry
Tropidurus hispidus lizards show fear-like behavior and decreased exploration after aversive stimuli, with nitric oxide in the telencephalon - particularly in the striatum and dorsolateral amygdala - modulating this response via NMDA receptor activation.
