Characterization of the brain functional architecture of psychostimulant withdrawal using single-cell whole brain imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Numerous brain regions have been identified as contributing to addiction-like behaviors, but unclear is the way in which these brain regions as a whole lead to addiction.

Oxytocinergic signalling in the respiratory parafacial region increases the activity of chemosensitive neurons and respiratory output

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 19, Page 5827-5849, October 1, 2025.
Abstract figure legend Oxytocinergic modulation of breathing in the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN). The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), which serves as the primary source of oxytocin (Oxt) in the brainstem, projects to the RTN. In vivo, pharmacological (TGOT) or optogenetic activation of oxytocinergic receptors and varicosities within ...

Mapping neuronal inputs to Kiss1 neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the mouse.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The normal function of the mammalian reproductive axis is strongly influenced by physiological, metabolic and environmental factors. Kisspeptin neuropeptides, encoded by the Kiss1 gene, are potent regulators of the mammalian reproductive axis by ...

Distribution of Vasotocin- and Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide-like Immunoreactivity in the Brain of Blue Tit (Cyanistes coeruleus)

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
Blue tits (Cyanistes coeruleus) are songbirds, used as model animals in numerous studies covering a wide field of research. Nevertheless, the distribution of neuropeptides in the brain of this avian species remains largely unknown.

Sexually dimorphic effects of a prenatal immune challenge on social play and vasopressin expression in juvenile rats

open access: yesBiology of Sex Differences, 2012
Background Infectious diseases and inflammation during pregnancy increase the offspring’s risk for behavioral disorders. However, how immune stress affects neural circuitry during development is not well known.

NPY Levels In Type 1 Diabetic Men of Different Duration. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the different duration of type 1 diabetes mellitus influences basal NPY secretion. Design: The NPY concentrations were measured in sixty-eight men with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus ...

BMP4 expression in the adult rat brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) is a member of the transforming growth factor β (TGF- β) superfamily and plays important roles in multiple biological events. Although BMP4 expression has been well described in the early development of central nervous

State of the body in disorders of diurnal physiological rhythms and long-term hypokinesia [PDF]

open access: yes
In order to study the effects of hypokinesia and circadian rhythm restructuring on the morphological and functional status of the hypothalamo-hypophysic-adrenal system, young male Wistar rats were placed in small cages for varying periods.

Somatodendritic secretion in oxytocin neurons is upregulated during the female reproductive cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
During the female reproductive cycle, hypothalamic oxytocin (OT) neurons undergo sharp changes in excitability. In lactating mammals, bursts of electrical activity of OT neurons result in the release of large amounts of OT in the bloodstream, which ...

Intradermal Injection of Oxytocin Aggravates Chloroquine-Induced Itch Responses via Activating the Vasopressin-1a Receptor/Nitric Oxide Pathway in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Oxytocin (OT), a hormone synthesized within the paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus, when given intracerebroventricularly, induces strong scratching behaviors.
