These project from the arcuate nucleus to other key hypothalamic nuclei, such as the paraventricular, dorsomedial, ventromedial and lateral hypothalamic nuclei. There are also projections to and ...

The paraventricular thalamic nucleus (PVT) is a small but highly connected nucleus of the dorsal midline thalamus. The PVT has garnered recent attention as a context-sensitive node within the ...

Figure 3. Schematic summary of the higher-order projections to Onuf’s nucleus. Onuf’s nucleus (ON) receives direct projections from the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (Pa; in blue). The ...

Specific hypothalamic nuclei, including the dorsomedial nucleus (DMN), paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and ventromedial nucleus (VMN), serve as control centers for appetite. In animals, lateral ...

Oxytocin receptor (Oxtr) signaling influences complex social behaviors in diverse species, including social monogamy in prairie voles. How Oxtr regulates specific components of social attachment ...

In mice, the neurons that dictate the feeling of being full are also the ones that cause sugar cravings, potentially ...

Researchers at Brown University and Cincinnati Children’s found that suppressing opsin 3 in the brain of mice makes them eat ...

Scientists discovered years ago that the hypothalamus—which helps to manage body temperature, hunger, sex drive, sleep and ...

Our previous findings that arachidonic acid-12/15-lipoxygenase (LOX)-generated metabolite 12(S)-HETE contributes to angiotensin II (AngII)-induced hypertension and 17β-estradiol protects from ...

See, researchers have discovered that the annoying cravings we often get for sweets—even when we’re full already—are a response of our body’s neurological systems. In fact, the same neurons in our ...

Chronic stress raises blood pressure. New research from Juntendo University, Japan, reveals that voluntary exercise prevents ...
