The circumventricular organs participate in the immunopathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

open access: yesCerebrospinal Fluid Research, 2005
Background During inflammatory conditions of the central nervous system (CNS), such as in multiple sclerosis or in its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), immune cells migrate from the blood stream into the CNS parenchyma and ...

LOCALIZATION OF TIGHT JUNCTIONS BETWEEN TANYCYTE-LIKE CELLS OF THE SULCUS MEDIANUS ORGANUM IN RAT BRAIN

open access: yesThe Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017
Background: Tanycytes are highly specialized ependymal cells (ECs) that line the regions of circumventricular organs (CVOs) where the blood-brain barrier is absent.

Central interaction between nitric oxide, lactate and glial cells to modulate water and sodium intake in rats

open access: yesBrain Research Bulletin, 2022
The ''astrocyte-to-neuron lactate shuttle'' (ANLS) mechanism is part of the central inhibitory pathway to modulate sodium intake. An interaction between the GABAergic neurons and nitric oxide (NO) in the subfornical organ (SFO) in salt-appetite ...

Anatomical Organization of the Rat Subfornical Organ

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
The subfornical organ (SFO) is a sensory circumventricular organ located along the anterodorsal wall of the third ventricle. SFO lacks a complete blood-brain barrier (BBB), and thus peripherally-circulating factors can penetrate the SFO parenchyma. These

Neuro-Inflammatory Response and Brain-Peripheral Crosstalk in Sepsis and Stroke

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Despite recent therapeutic advances, ischemic stroke is still a leading cause of death and disability. There is renewed attention on peripheral inflammatory signaling as a way of modulating the post-ischemic neuro-inflammatory process.

Pancreas-Brain Crosstalk

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021
The neural regulation of glucose homeostasis in normal and challenged conditions involves the modulation of pancreatic islet-cell function. Compromising the pancreas innervation causes islet autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes and islet cell dysfunction in ...

The origins of the circumventricular organs

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, 2017
AbstractThe circumventricular organs (CVOs) are specialised neuroepithelial structures found in the midline of the brain, grouped around the third and fourth ventricles. They mediate the communication between the brain and the periphery by performing sensory and secretory roles, facilitated by increased vascularisation and the absence of a blood‐brain ...

Neural Progenitor Cells and the Hypothalamus

open access: yesCells, 2023
Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs) capable of self-renewing and differentiating into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.

Distribution of Gb3 Immunoreactivity in the Mouse Central Nervous System

open access: yesToxins, 2010
We have shown previously that neurons in the mouse spinal cord express Gb3. We show in this article that distribution of anti-Gb3-Ab reactivity occurs in many different types of neurons of different areas of the central nervous system (CNS).

Vasopressin and Breathing: Review of Evidence for Respiratory Effects of the Antidiuretic Hormone

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Vasopressin (AVP) is a key neurohormone involved in the regulation of body functions. Due to its urine-concentrating effect in the kidneys, it is often referred to as antidiuretic hormone.
