Dopamine and adult neurogenesis.
TL;DR: Recent data suggesting that dopamine, in addition to being a neurotransmitter, also plays a role in the regulation of endogenous neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain are reviewed.

Rat ultrasonic vocalization in aversively motivated situations and the role of individual differences in anxiety-related behavior.
TL;DR: The results indicate that acute and conditioned responses of rats in a conventional fear conditioning paradigm can depend on individual dispositions of anxiety-related behavior as measured with the elevated plus-maze.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time the existence of a direct dopaminergic projection into the olfactory bulb and its origin in the substantia nigra in rats, which may provide a neuroanatomical basis for invasion of environmental toxins into the basal ganglia and for hyposmia as frequent symptom in PD.

Inhibitory avoidance, pain reactivity, and plus-maze behavior in Wistar rats with high versus low rearing activity.
TL;DR: The degree of behavioral activation in a novel open-field situation has been shown to serve as a useful predictor to classify animals of a given population into sub-groups with high or low activity, based on measures like locomotion or rearing activity.

New insights into the relationship of neurogenesis and affect: tickling induces hippocampal cell proliferation in rats emitting appetitive 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations.
TL;DR: The effect of tickling on HCP depends on an interaction between a predisposing trait and stimulation-dependent variations of the subject's affective state, and a so-far neglected measure of affect, namely ultrasonic vocalizations, is used.
