The role of agomelatine in appetite regulation and body weight in rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The hypothalamic nuclei play a central role in the synthesis of anorexigenic and orexigenic neuropeptides, which are regulated by peripheral hormones, like leptin and ghrelin. Melatonergic receptors (MT1/MT2) are prominently expressed in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus – an essential hub for appetite control – and in peripheral ...

Frequency responses of human magnetophosphene perception thresholds during dark adaptation point to rod modulation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Magnetophosphenes are flickering lights perceived when an extremely low frequency magnetic field generates a sufficiently strong electric field in the head. Understanding how phosphenes are produced is crucial, as they form the basis for international safety standards and guidelines for both workers and the general population.

Impact of long‐term maternal high‐fat, high‐sugar feeding on gastric vagal afferent responses and feeding behaviour in mouse offspring

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor maternal nutrition and excessive gestational weight gain predict future development of obesity in offspring. Preclinically, maternal obesity induced by a high‐fat, high‐sugar diet (HFHSD) induces hyperphagia and obesity in offspring. We hypothesized that this might, in part, reflect reduced peripheral gastric vagal afferent (GVA) satiety ...

Enviromimetics: From exercise mimetics to cognitomimetics in the quest for enhanced brain health and cognition

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A schematic diagram outlining the concept of enviromimetics, and the subclasses of exercise mimetics, epimimetics and cognitomimetics. The rationale is that environmental stimulation and lifestyle factors, including physical activity and cognitive stimulation, have shown beneficial effects across a range of human conditions ...

Recent optical approaches for anatomical and functional dissection of neuron–astrocyte circuitry

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This review summarises novel optical approaches to deciphering structural and functional wiring diagrams of neuron–astrocyte circuits in the brain. There are three groups: the anatomical proximity assay, transsynaptic viral tracing and the functional connection assay. The FRET‐based neuron–astrocyte proximity assay allows mapping
