Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

PVN pathways controlling energy homeostasis
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2012 Research into the control of energy balance has tended to focus on discrete brain regions, such as the brainstem, medulla, arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, and neocortex.

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children often arises from defects in the leptin–melanocortin pathway. Understanding these rare genetic causes not only clarifies mechanisms of appetite regulation but also enables precision therapies, offering hope beyond lifestyle interventions.

Hypothalamic CRH neurons orchestrate complex behaviours after stress
Nature Communications, 2016 Animals exhibit a number of complex behaviours following stressful events, although the underlying circuitry is undetermined. Here, the authors use optogenetic targeting to identify a role for corticotrophin releasing hormone cells in the paraventricular

Simulated high altitude hypoxia induces anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in mice
Di-san junyi daxue xuebao, 2021 Objective To determine the effects of simulated altitude hypoxia conditions on anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in mice. Methods C57 adult male mice were divided into 3 groups (n=10): plain control group, 24 h plateau hypoxia group, and 7 d plateau

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Social rank in greater long‐tailed hamsters (Tscherskia triton) shapes gut microbiota composition and metabolite profiles. Dominant males exhibit a “high‐vigilance, metabolically activated” phenotype, with elevated aggression and specific gut microbiota enriched in energy‐harvesting taxa and fecal queuine.

Spatial Transcriptomics of Supraoptic Nucleus and Paraventricular Nucleus of the Hypothalamus
The FASEB Journal, 2021 Magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus release oxytocin (OXY) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) into the peripheral circulation, playing a key role in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Obesity involves profound disruptions in neuronal circuits, neuroendocrine communication and the endocannabinoid system. While global blockade of cannabinoid CB1 receptors improves metabolism, its clinical use is limited by neuropsychiatric side effects.
