Synaptic plasticity and roles of orexin in distinct domains of the olfactory tubercle.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Olfactory behavior is highly plastic, and the olfactory tubercle (OT), a component of the olfactory cortex and ventral striatum, includes anteromedial (amOT) and lateral (lOT) domains with roles in attractive and aversive olfactory behavioral learning, respectively. However, the underlying properties of synaptic plasticity in these domains are incompletely understood. Synaptic plasticity is regulated by multiple signals including synaptic inputs and neuromodulators. Interestingly, the amOT domain exhibits high expression of various receptors for neuromodulators. We investigated synaptic plasticity in mouse OT slices by combining electrical stimulation and treatment with the appetite-promoting neuropeptide orexin, the receptors of which are highly expressed in the amOT. In both the amOT and lOT, one round of 2-Hz burst stimulation elicited short-term potentiation of the field excitatory postsynaptic potential, whereas three rounds of stimulation induced long-term potentiation (LTP) that persisted for 150 min. In the amOT, orexin-A induced LTP was blocked by the orexin receptor type 1 antagonist SB334867. Orexin-A also facilitated LTP induction in the amOT by one round of 2-Hz burst stimulation. By contrast, these effects were not observed in the lOT. These results highlighted the similarity and difference in synaptic plasticity between the OT domains and suggested that orexin facilitates synaptic plasticity in the amOT during olfactory learning processes such as food odor learning.
