New findings in oligogenic inheritance of congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
Introduction Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism results from a dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, which is essential for the development and function of the reproductive system. It may be associated with anosmia, referred to as

ABSTRACT Background Congenital mirror movement disorders (CMMs) are clinically and genetically heterogeneous in human patients. CMMs have not been documented to occur spontaneously in animals. Objective The objective of this work was to document the first case of CMMs spontaneously occurring in Weimaraner dogs and to identify the underlying genetic ...

Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

Abstract The exploration of gender differences in non‐andrological fields was the core focus of a series of discussions, which took place at the Endocrinology Unit in Modena, Italy in the form of the aporetic dialogue of ancient Greece. This second episode reports the transcript of the actual debate on testosterone's role in defining empathic behavior ...

Mutations in FEZF1 Cause Kallmann Syndrome [PDF]
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons originate outside the CNS in the olfactory placode and migrate into the CNS, where they become integral components of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Disruption of this migration results in Kallmann syndrome (KS), which is characterized by anosmia and pubertal failure due to hypogonadotropic ...

Corticospinal Tract Development, Evolution, and Skilled Movements
Abstract The evolution of the corticospinal tract (CST) is closely linked to the development of skilled voluntary movements in mammals. The main evolutionary divergence concerns the position of the CST within the spinal cord white matter and its postsynaptic targets in the grey matter.

Kallmann Syndrome - causes, symptoms, treatment - review of literature
Background: Kallmann syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia. KS results from abnormalities in the migration of GnRH neurons from the nasal placode to the hypothalamus.
