The role of dorsal raphe nucleus neuropeptides in reward and aversion [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral NeuroscienceThe dorsal raphe nucleus is a critical node for affective and motivated circuits in the brain. Though typically known as a serotonergic hub, the dorsal raphe nucleus is also highly enriched in a variety of neuropeptides.

Oxytocinergic Feedback Circuitries: An Anatomical Basis for Neuromodulation of Social Behaviors
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021 Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide produced by hypothalamic neurons and is known to modulate social behavior among other functions. Several experiments have shown that OT modulates neuronal activity in many brain areas, including sensory cortices.

Neuroendocrine regulations in tissue-specific immunity: From mechanism to applications in tumor
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Immune responses in nonlymphoid tissues play a vital role in the maintenance of homeostasis. Lots of evidence supports that tissue-specific immune cells provide defense against tumor through the localization in different tissue throughout the body, and ...

Role of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus in anxiety disorders
Stress and Brain, 2022 The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) expresses multiple neuropeptides and plays an essential role in several physiological processes. Among the brain areas directly projecting to the PVN are deep brain structures closely related to instinctive ...
