Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of ...

A team from the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) has pinpointed a critical neural circuit for sexual rejection, identifying a set ...

Despite the diverse nature of obesity, there is compelling genetic, clinical, and experimental evidence that endorses the ...

Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...

The researchers also explored how the PMd interacts with other parts of the brain, particularly the ...

Neurons within the hypothalamus also switch on motor neurons that plug into the jaw, resulting in chewing movements. This chain of events relies on a simple circuit in the brain, consisting of ...

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 ...

Traditionally, the brain's so-called feeding circuit was thought to involve a simple feedback loop between two types of brain cells in the hypothalamus: Neurons expressing a gene named AGRP drive ...

A brain circuit made up of three types of neurons ... In their experiments, Kosse and colleagues discovered that neurons in the hypothalamus that make BDNF are activated in the brains of mice ...
