The "ram effect": new insights into neural modulation of the gonadotropic axis by male odors and socio-sexual interactions [PDF]
Reproduction in mammals is controlled by the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis under the influence of external and internal factors such as photoperiod, stress, nutrition, and social interactions.

Primate preoptic neurons drive hypothermia and cold defense
Maintaining body temperature within a narrow range is vital for warm-blooded animals. In rodents, the preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus detects and regulates core body temperature.

Forebrain Origins of Glutamatergic Innervation to the Rat Paraventricular Nucleus of the Hypothalamus: Differential Inputs to the Anterior Versus Posterior Subregions [PDF]
The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) regulates numerous homeostatic systems and functions largely under the influence of forebrain inputs. Glutamate is a major neurotransmitter in forebrain, and glutamate neurosignaling in the PVN is known to ...

Chickens cannot independently thermoregulate at hatch and lack opportunity to behaviorally thermoregulate with a hen in the egg layer industry, thus barns are heated to thermoneutral temperatures.

A diencephalic circuit in rats for opioid analgesia but not positive reinforcement
Opioids are potent analgesics but also have addiction risk. Here a lateral preoptic area to lateral habenula connection is identified by which opioids relieve ongoing pain but do not produce reward in animals that do not have ongoing pain.

Preoptic Inputs and Mechanisms that Regulate Maternal Responsiveness [PDF]
The preoptic area is a well-established centre for the control of maternal behaviour. An intact medial preoptic area (mPOA) is required for maternal responsiveness because lesion of the area abolishes maternal behaviours. Although hormonal changes in the

Estradiol-sensitive projection neurons in the female rat preoptic area
Electrical stimulation of the preoptic area (POA) interrupts the lordosis reflex, a combined contraction of back muscles, in response to male mounts and the major receptive component of sexual behavior in female rat in estrus, without interfering with ...

Multiscale Cell–Cell Interactive Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis
In this study, we present the MultiScale Cell‐Cell Interactive Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis method, which unites the strengths of spatially resolved deep learning techniques with a topological representation of multi‐scale cell‐cell similarity relations.

Dissociated Pmch and Cre Expression in Lactating Pmch-Cre BAC Transgenic Mice
The melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) system plays a role in many physiological processes including reproduction and lactation. However, research regarding the function of MCH on different aspects of the reproductive function lags, due in part to a ...
