The Hypothalamic Preoptic Area and Body Weight Control [PDF]

Neuroendocrinology, 2017
The preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus is involved in many physiological and behavioral processes thanks to its interconnections to many brain areas and ability to respond to diverse humoral factors. One main function of the POA is to manage body temperature homeostasis, e.g.

Estrogen Alters Oxytocin mRNA Levels in the Preoptic Area [PDF]

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 1989
AbstractEstrogen has numerous effects on immunoreactive levels of oxytocin (OXT) centrally, particularly in the preoptic lateral subcommissural nucleus (LSN). In this study in situ hybridization of a 38‐base oligodeoxyribonucleotide (38mer) complementary to OXT mRNA revealed that estrogen treatment altered the pattern of OXT production in the rostral ...

The lateral preoptic area and ventral pallidum embolden behavior [PDF]

Brain Structure and Function, 2019
While recently completing a study of the effects of stimulating the lateral preoptic area (LPO) and ventral pallidum (VP) on locomotion and other movements, we also noticed LPO and VP effects on motivational drive and threat tolerance. Here, we have investigated these latter effects by testing conditioned place preference (CPP), behavior on the ...

Neuroanatomical and functional correlates in borderline personality disorder: A narrative review

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 19-31, Spring 2025.
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is considered a dysfunctional, stable, and pervasive alteration in personality functioning with the inability to adapt to the environment, mental rigidity, and ego‐syntonic, and like all personality disorders is a consistent pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of ...

Evaluation of Potential Hormonal Activities of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ashwagandha is a widely used herb in traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayurveda. Despite its extensive tradition, growing concerns regarding its potential endocrinological effects have prompted scientific scrutiny. This review systematically evaluates the current preclinical, clinical, and case study evidence concerning AS's effects ...

Proteomic Analysis of the Maternal Preoptic Area in Rats [PDF]

Neurochemical Research, 2019
The behavior of female rats changes profoundly as they become mothers. The brain region that plays a central role in this regulation is the preoptic area, and lesions in this area eliminates maternal behaviors in rodents. The molecular background of the behavioral changes has not been established yet; therefore, in the present study, we applied ...

Advent of NK3R Antagonists for the Treatment of Menopausal Hot Flushes: A Narrative Review

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The menopause transition is marked by symptoms predominantly attributed to declining oestrogen levels. Approximately 80% of women experience associated symptoms, and 25% experience severe symptoms. The commonest are vasomotor symptoms (VMS), collectively referring to hot flushes and/or night sweats.

Nonapeptide cell size differs between male morphs of the West African cichlid, Pelvicachromis pulcher

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Alternative male morphs are found in many species of fishes. These morphs often differ in suites of social behaviours, such as aggression and territoriality, associated with alternative reproductive tactics. Such consistent morph‐typical behavioural profiles suggest common differences in underlying neuroendocrine mechanisms.

The Association Between Circadian Disruption in Core Body Temperature Rhythm and Post‐Chemotherapy Sleep Disturbances in Breast Cancer Survivors

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep disturbance is a common symptom experienced by approximately 70% of breast cancer survivors and persists after the conclusion of chemotherapy. This study aimed to quantify the circadian disruption of the core body temperature (CBT) rhythm and its correlation with sleep disturbance following chemotherapy.

Corticotropin‐Releasing Hormone (CRH) in Murine Narcolepsy: What Do Genetic and Immune Models Tell Us?

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Narcolepsy type 1 is a chronic sleep disorder of putative autoimmune aetiology, primarily caused by the loss of orexin‐producing neurons in the hypothalamus. An additional 88% reduction in corticotropin‐releasing hormone‐immunoreactive neurons of the paraventricular nucleus has been recently observed in post‐mortem brains of individuals with ...
