Pituitary Adenylate-Cyclase Activating Polypeptide Regulates Hunger- and Palatability-Induced Binge Eating [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016 While pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) signaling in the hypothalamic ventromedial nuclei (VMN) has been shown to regulate feeding, a challenge in unmasking a role for this peptide in obesity is that excess feeding can involve ...

Nucleus accumbens corticotropin-releasing factor increases cue-triggered motivation for sucrose reward: paradoxical positive incentive effects in stress? [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2006 Background Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is typically considered to mediate aversive aspects of stress, fear and anxiety. However, CRF release in the brain is also elicited by natural rewards and incentive cues, raising the possibility that some ...

Microinjections observed by MMS FEEPS in the dusk to midnight region
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Energetic electron injections are commonly observed in the premidnight to dawn regions in association with substorms. However, successive electron injections are generally separated in time by hours and are rarer in the dusk region of the inner ...

The Kir channel in the nucleus tractus solitarius integrates the chemosensory system with REM sleep executive machinery for homeostatic balance [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe locus coeruleus (LC), nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), and retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) are critical chemosensory regions in the brainstem. In the LC, acid-sensing ion channels and proton pumps serve as H+ sensors and facilitate the transition from ...
