Previous issue date: 2016-08-05 / O medo e a ansiedade s?o emo??es adaptativas caracterizadas por um conjunto de altera??es fisiol?gicas e comportamentais que ocorrem quando os indiv?duos se sentem amea?ados fisicamente e/ou psicologicamente. Apesar dos comportamentos de medo e ansiedade serem caracter?sticos, estudo das ?ltimas duas d?cadas t?m mostrado que diferentes fontes de medo podem ativar diferentes vias neurais e que h? diferen?as entre medo condicionado (aprendido) e medo incondicionado (inato). As vias do medo condicionado envolvem o c?rtex frontal medial e os n?cleos central e basolateral da am?gdala, enquanto o medo de predador (inato) envolve o n?cleo medial da am?gdala e n?cleos da zona medial do hipot?lamo. Sabe-se que as fun??es encef?licas s?o coordenadas por sistemas de neurotransmissores e seus receptores que s?o expressos nas mais diversas regi?es do sistema nervoso, exercendo diferentes fun??es. O Neuropept?deo S (NPS) ? um neurotransmissor cujo estudos em roedores mostra sua import?ncia como regulador de ansiedade e vig?lia, reduzindo a ansiedade, aumentando a vig?lia e o comportamento locomotor, sendo ent?o um ansiol?tico e estimulante, o que o torna um potencial alvo para estudos farmacol?gicos e cl?nicos. Neste trabalho realizamos a inje??o intracerebroventricular (icv) de NPS em camundongos e mapeamento da express?o de Fos (prote?na indicadora de atividade celular) em n?cleos envolvidos nas vias de medo condicionado e incondicionado. A an?lise dos nossos resultados mostraram que a administra??o icv de NPS promoveu uma express?o de Fos diferenciada nos n?cleos central e basolateral da am?gdala, indicando um papel no medo condicionado. / Fear and anxiety are emotions featured by a group of physiological and behavioral changes that occur when subjects feel threatened physically and/or psychologically. For the last two decades many studies have showed that different sources of fear are able to activate different neural pathways, where conditioned (learned) and unconditioned (innate) fear run over different trails. The conditioned fear involves the frontal medial cortex and the central and basolateral nuclei of the amygdala, when the fear of predator (unconditioned) involves nuclei of the medial hypothalamus. It is known that the brain functions are coordinated by neurotransmitter's systems and its receptors that are expressed in many different places around the brain, having different functions. The Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a neurotransmitter whose studies have showed its important role as an anxiety and awake regulator. NPS decreases anxiety and increases awakeness and locomotor behavior, been thus an anxiolytic and stimulating neurotransmitter, what makes it a potential target for pharmacological and clinical studies. In the present work we injected NPS icv in mice and looked for the Fos-expressing neurons in the nuclei of the conditioned and unconditioned pathways. The analysis of our results showed that the icv NPS promoted the increase in Fos expression in the central and basolateral amygdala, what indicates its role in the conditioned fear.
