The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus: a key node in the control of behavioural states
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 8, Page 2231-2243, 15 April 2025.Abstract figure legend The paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus contains many different populations of neurons. Together, these neurons control numerous physiological functions and homeostatic behaviours. Created in BioRender. Iremonger, K.

The role of amylin, a gut–brain axis hormone, in metabolic and neurological disorders
FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.The dual roles of amylin in physiology and pathology. Under normal physiological conditions, amylin regulates food intake, gastric emptying, bone metabolism, and exhibits neuroprotective effects in the brain. On the right side, the pathogenesis of amylin is shown in conditions such as T2DM and neurodegenerative diseases like AD. Human amylin aggregates

THE ROLE OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS IN ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE: ANIMAL RESEARCH [PDF]
, 1996 — Animal studies have demonstrated that alcohol changes neurotransrrutter concentrations in the brain. These changes in levels of dopamine, serotonin, ^aminobutync acid (GABA), endogenous opioid peptides, and noradrcnaline are associated with activation ...

The Art of Chilling Out: How Neurons Regulate Torpor
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 2, February 2025.In harsh conditions, many animals enter a hypometabolic state known as torpor to conserve energy for survival. Mice undergo torpor when exposed to cold environments and fasting. This review summarizes recent findings on the neural control mechanisms of torpor in mice and discusses future research directions.

A quantitative study of neurochemically-defined populations of inhibitory interneurons in the superficial dorsal horn of the mouse spinal cord [PDF]
, 2017 Around a quarter of neurons in laminae I-II of the dorsal horn are inhibitory interneurons. These play an important role in modulating somatosensory information, including that perceived as pain or itch.
