Efferent projections of prokineticin 2 expressing neurons in the mouse suprachiasmatic nucleus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus is the predominant circadian clock in mammals. To function as a pacemaker, the intrinsic timing signal from the SCN must be transmitted to different brain regions.

Adenosine Downregulates the Activities of Glutamatergic Neurons in the Paraventricular Hypothalamic Nucleus Required for Sleep

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Adenosine is an endogenous substance that regulates sleep homeostasis. It plays an important role in sleep induction under physiological condition. So far, the neural mechanisms underlying sleep-promoting effects of adenosine are not completely clear ...

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.

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.

Topography of somatostatin gene expression relative to molecular progenitor domains during ontogeny of the mouse hypothalamus

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2011
The hypothalamus comprises alar, basal and floor plate developmental compartments. Recent molecular data support a rostro-caudal subdivision into rostral (terminal) and caudal (peduncular) halves. In this context, the distribution of neuronal populations

Erectile Function and Sexual Behavior: A Review of the Role of Nitric Oxide in the Central Nervous System

Biomolecules, 2021
Nitric oxide (NO), the neuromodulator/neurotransmitter formed from l-arginine by neuronal, endothelial and inducible NO synthases, is involved in numerous functions across the body, from the control of arterial blood pressure to penile erection, and at ...

Differential Changes in Expression of Stress- and Metabolic-related Neuropeptides in the Rat Hypothalamus during Morphine Dependence and Withdrawal [PDF]

, 2013
Chronic morphine treatment and naloxone precipitated morphine withdrawal activates stress-related brain circuit and results in significant changes in food intake, body weight gain and energy metabolism.

AVP neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus regulate feeding

Molecular Metabolism, 2014
Melanocortins and their receptors are critical components of energy homeostasis and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) is an important site of melanocortin action. Although best known for its role in osmoregulation, arginine vasopressin (AVP) has been implicated in feeding and is robustly expressed in the PVH.
