Cytoarchitecture of the human paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus [PDF]
Introduction. The significance of this research in terms of structure and biochemical processes in PVN contributes to further understanding of vital physiological processes from delivery and stress to delicate chemical processes that keep the hypothalamo-hypophysial axis in balance. Conclusion.

Hypothalamic Neurochemical and Microglial Suppression in Long-Standing Human Hibernation-Like Syndrome. [PDF]
A rare case of a human hibernation‐like syndrome was associated with preserved hypothalamic anatomy but profound suppression of neuroendocrine and circadian neuropeptide systems. Marked reductions in synaptic and microglial immunoreactivity suggest a suppressed hypothalamic neuron–glial network, despite preserved astrocytic markers, myelination and ...

Paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus: Axonal projections to the brainstem [PDF]
Abstract The paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH) contains many neurons that innervate the brainstem, but information regarding their target sites remains incomplete. Here we labeled neurons in the rat PVH with an anterograde axonal tracer, Phaseolus vulgaris ...

Oxytocin signaling in the posterior hypothalamus prevents hyperphagic obesity in mice
Decades of studies have revealed molecular and neural circuit bases for body weight homeostasis. Neural hormone oxytocin (Oxt) has received attention in this context because it is produced by neurons in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), a ...

Fasting induced cytoplasmic Fto expression in some neurons of rat hypothalamus. [PDF]
Fat mass and obesity associated protein (Fto) is a nucleic acid demethylase, with a preference for thymine or uracil, according to the recent structural data. This fact suggests that methylated single-stranded RNA, rather than DNA, may be the primary Fto

Opioids in the Hypothalamic Paraventricular Nucleus Stimulate Ethanol Intake [PDF]
Background: Specialized hypothalamic systems that increase food intake might also increase ethanol intake. To test this possibility, morphine and receptor‐specific opioid agonists were microinjected in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of rats that had learned to drink ethanol.

Glucose in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus regulates GLP-1 release [PDF]
Glucokinase (GK) is highly expressed in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN); however, its role is currently unknown. We found that GK in the PVN acts as part of a glucose-sensing mechanism within the PVN that regulates glucose homeostasis by ...

Hypothalamic POMC Neurons Gate the Fear-Feeding Trade-Off. [PDF]
Hungry animals must continually arbitrate between feeding and defensive behaviors when confronted with potential threats. We show that hypothalamic POMC neurons engage CRH‐expressing stress circuits and downstream hormonal responses to coordinate this behavioral selection between competing behaviors.

Chronic stress plasticity in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus [PDF]
Proper integration and execution of the physiological stress response is essential for maintaining homoeostasis. Stress responses are controlled in large part by the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus, which contains three functionally distinct neural populations that modulate multiple stress effectors: (1) hypophysiotrophic PVN neurons ...
