Altered responses to ghrelin and food cues in AgRP neurons during pregnancy and lactation. [PDF]
Abstract Pregnancy and lactation trigger many metabolic adaptations, including increased food intake to support the energy demands of the growing foetus and then to provide nutrition through milk production after birth. Ghrelin, an orexigenic hormone, activates agouti related peptide (AgRP) neurons in the arcuate nucleus to promote food intake.

Roles of traditional chinese medicine regulating neuroendocrinology on AD treatment
The incidence of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is increasing in recent years. Studies have shown that in addition to some genetic abnormalities, the majority of AD patients has a history of long-term exposure to risk factors.

Sex-differential associations of MC3R p.F45S with human metabolic profile. [PDF]
Abstract Obesity and related metabolic disorders represent major global health challenges, highlighting the importance of understanding the central regulation of energy homeostasis. The melanocortin system is a conserved circuitry governing food intake and other neuroendocrine processes.

Lateral hypothalamic melanin concentrating hormone-expressing neurons both promote and are required for cue-potentiated feeding. [PDF]
Abstract Food‐related stimuli can promote feeding behaviors independent of metabolic need. Cue‐potentiated feeding (CPF) studies in rodents offer the potential to reveal the psychobiological mechanisms underlying learned overeating behaviors. We examined whether lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) cells expressing the feeding signal Melanin Concentrating ...

Nonapeptide molecular evolution during the adaptive radiation of Tanganyika cichlids. [PDF]
Abstract Oxytocin (OT) and vasotocin (VT) are evolutionarily conserved nonapeptides that regulate a wide range of physiological and behavioral processes in vertebrates. Their receptor families have undergone gene duplications that facilitated functional diversification throughout vertebrate evolution.

Limited nesting stress in mice as a model to study neuroimmune relationships in postpartum depression. [PDF]
We investigated the limited nesting stress paradigm as a model to study neuroimmune relationships in postpartum depression. Limited nesting resulted in deficits in maternal behaviour, associated with altered brain gene expression and increased T regulatory cell levels.

Geoffrey Wingfield Harris (1913-1971), padre de la neuroendocrinología
Background: The purpose of this narrative review is to highlight the work of Geoffrey W. Harris on the relationship between the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, particularly the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.

Sex is ubiquitous and variable throughout the animal kingdom. Historically, scientists have used reductionist methodologies that rely on a priori sex categorizations, in which two discrete sexes are inextricably linked with gamete type.

Deconstructing sex: Strategies for undoing binary thinking in neuroendocrinology and behavior.
The scientific community widely recognizes that "sex" is a complex category composed of multiple physiologies. Yet in practice, basic scientific research often treats "sex" as a single, internally consistent, and often binary variable.

Social zebrafish: Danio rerio as an emerging model in social neuroendocrinology
The fitness benefits of social life depend on the ability of animals to affiliate with others and form groups, on dominance hierarchies within groups that determine resource distribution, and on cognitive capacities for recognition, learning and ...
