Abnormal Paraventricular Nucleus of Hypothalamus and Growth Retardation Associated with Loss of Nuclear Receptor Gene COUP-TFII

Scientific Reports, 2017
The paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus plays important roles in the regulation of energy balance and fetal growth. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its formation and function have not been clearly elucidated.

Hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus activation contributes to neurohumoral excitation in rats with heart failure [PDF]

Regenerative Medicine Research, 2014
Heart failure (HF) is a serious cardiovascular disease and is characterized by exaggerated sympathetic activity. In this paper, we review these limited studies, with particular emphasis on examining the role of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) in the ...

The hypothalamus as the central regulator of energy balance and its impact on current and future obesity treatments [PDF]

Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism
The hypothalamus is a master regulator of energy balance in the body. First-order hypothalamic neurons localized in the arcuate nucleus sense systemic signals that indicate the energy stores in the body.

Optimization of whole-brain rabies virus tracing technology for small cell populations

Scientific Reports, 2021
The lateral hypothalamus (LH) is critically involved in the regulation of homeostatic energy balance. Some neurons in the LH express receptors for leptin (LepRb), a hormone known to increase energy expenditure and decrease energy intake.

Circadian rhythm mechanism in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and its relation to the olfactory system

Frontiers in Neural Circuits
Animals need sleep, and the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the center of the circadian rhythm, plays an important role in determining the timing of sleep. The main input to the suprachiasmatic nucleus is the retinohypothalamic tract, with additional inputs ...

Involvement of the ipsilateral-to-the-pain anterior–superior hypothalamic subunit in chronic cluster headache

The Journal of Headache and Pain
Background Despite hypothalamus has long being considered to be involved in the pathophysiology of cluster headache, the inconsistencies of previous neuroimaging studies and a limited understanding of the hypothalamic areas involved, impede a ...

Connectivity from OR37 expressing olfactory sensory neurons to distinct cell types in the hypothalamus

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2012
Olfactory sensory neurons which express a member from the OR37 subfamily of odorant receptor genes are wired to the main olfactory bulb in a unique monoglomerular fashion; from these glomeruli an untypical connectivity into higher brain centers exists ...

c-Fos expression in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus after a single treatment with a typical haloperidol and nine atypical antipsychotics: a pilot study

Endocrine Regulations, 2018
Objective. The aim of the present study was to find out whether acute effect of different doses of selected antipsychotics including aripiprazole (ARI), amisulpride (AMI), asenapine (ASE), haloperidol (HAL), clozapine (CLO), risperidone (RIS), quetiapine
