Sex-specific parenting and depression evoked by preoptic inhibitory neurons
iScience, 2021 Summary: The role of preoptic GABAergic inhibitory neurons was addressed in parenting, anxiety and depression. Pup exposure and forced swimming resulted in similar c-Fos activation pattern in neurons expressing vesicular GABA transporter in the preoptic ...

Cellular Composition of the Preoptic Area Regulating Sleep, Parental, and Sexual Behavior
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 The preoptic area (POA) has long been recognized as a sleep center, first proposed by von Economo. The POA, especially the medial POA (MPOA), is also involved in the regulation of various innate functions such as sexual and parental behaviors. Consistent

A Scientometric Approach to Review the Role of the Medial Preoptic Area (MPOA) in Parental Behavior
Brain Science, 2021 Research investigating the neural substrates underpinning parental behaviour has recently gained momentum. Particularly, the hypothalamic medial preoptic area (MPOA) has been identified as a crucial region for parenting.

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 ...

QPLOT Neurons—Converging on a Thermoregulatory Preoptic Neuronal Population
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 The preoptic area of the hypothalamus is a homeostatic control center. The heterogeneous neurons in this nucleus function to regulate the sleep/wake cycle, reproduction, thirst and hydration, as well as thermogenesis and other metabolic responses ...

Preoptic Area Modulation of Arousal in Natural and Drug Induced Unconscious States
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 The role of the hypothalamic preoptic area (POA) in arousal state regulation has been studied since Constantin von Economo first recognized its importance in the early twentieth century.

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 ...

Glucoregulatory responses to hypothalamic preoptic area cooling [PDF]
Brain Research, 2019 Normal glucose homeostasis depends on the capacity of pancreatic β-cells to adjust insulin secretion in response to a change of tissue insulin sensitivity. In cold environments, for example, the dramatic increase of insulin sensitivity required to ensure a sufficient supply of glucose to thermogenic tissues is offset by a proportionate reduction of ...

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Testicular androgens during the perinatal period play an important role in the sexual differentiation of the brain of rodents. Testicular androgens transported into the brain act via androgen receptors or are the substrate of aromatase, which synthesizes

Rapid behavioral and genomic responses to social opportunity.
PLoS Biology, 2005 From primates to bees, social status regulates reproduction. In the cichlid fish Astatotilapia (Haplochromis) burtoni, subordinate males have reduced fertility and must become dominant to reproduce.
