My postdoctoral work with Clif Saper at Harvard Medical School demonstrated that mice exhibit a daily rhythm in their propensity to attack an intruder mouse and revealed a novel hypothalamic circuit ...

They created a detailed map of the hypothalamus, showing where each cell is located and which genes are expressed in it at ...

Emotional stress signals are processed in the 'emotion' circuits and integrated in the DP/DTT. The integrated signals are transmitted to the hypothalamus which then drives a variety of physical ...

This review highlights the key areas of research in the hypothalamic control of appetite. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that integrate peripheral signals, such as adiposity and ...

A hypothalamic circuit for the circadian control of aggression. Nature Neuroscience. 2018. 21(5); 717-724. Blumberg MS, Gall AJ, and Todd WD. The development of sleep-wake rhythms and the search for ...

A key focus is on pan-CNS-projecting "brain orchestrator" circuits radiating from the hypothalamus, and postulated to be tunable by our internal state, including the diets we eat. Such neurons - for ...

This important study shows that the activity of hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons (HONs) correlates with body movement over multiple behaviors. Sophisticated techniques and analyses showcase this ...
