Positive emotion-specific changes in gene expression profile in hypothalamus of the tickled rats

ABSTRACT: The changes of mRNA expression levels were analyzed in the hypothalamus of the juvenile rat stimulated by tickling for 4 weeks as a positive stimulation. The genes involved in feeding regulation were up-regulated by positive stimulation compared with light-touch stimulation, and the genes related to the stress hormone were down-regulated compared with control (no stimulus). Keywords: Stress response
