Interface Properties of Circumventricular Organs in Salt and Fluid Balance

open access: yes, 2000
The “sensory” circumventricular organs, with their leaky blood-brain barriers, permit contact between brain neurons and blood-borne molecules. Body fluid balance and cardiovascular control involve established interface functions of subfornical organs ...

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 ...

Windows of the brain: Towards a developmental biology of circumventricular and other neurohemal organs.

open access: yes, 2007
We review the anatomical and functional features of circumventricular organs in vertebrates and their homologous neurohemal organs in invertebrates. Focusing on cyclostomes (lamprey) and urochordates (ascidians), we discuss the evolutionary origin of ...

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.

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.

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

The satiating hormone amylin enhances neurogenesis in the area postrema of adult rats

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2016
Objective: Adult neurogenesis in the subgranular zone and subventricular zone is generally accepted, but its existence in other brain areas is still controversial.

Astroglia support, regulate and reinforce brain barriers

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2023
Nervous system is segregated from the body by the complex system of barriers. The CNS is protected by (i) the blood–brain and blood-spinal cord barrier between the intracerebral and intraspinal blood vessels and the brain parenchyma; (ii) the arachnoid ...

Therapeutic access points: The roles of circumventricular organs in drug delivery and metabolic regulation

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The current obesity drug landscape, dominated by GLP‐1 receptor agonists and emerging multi‐agonist therapies, has reinforced that long‐term weight loss is achieved in large part through central mechanisms that suppress appetite and reshape energy balance.
