A melanopsin ganglion cell subtype forms a dorsal retinal mosaic projecting to the supraoptic nucleus [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 In addition to rod and cone photoreceptors, the mammalian retina contains intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). Here the authors identify a population of ipRGCs that encode ventral vision.

Selective Gene Expression in Magnocellular Neurons in Rat Supraoptic Nucleus [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2004 Oxytocin- and vasopressin-producing magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system are the only neuronal phenotypes present in the rat supraoptic nucleus (SON). Laser microdissection of the SON, extraction and T7-based amplification of its RNAs, and analysis of the resulting cDNAs by hybridization on a 35, 319 element DNA ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide secretion during development of the rat supraoptic nucleus
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009 Since a relationship between atrial natriuretic peptide and oxytocin was recently demonstrated in the heart (Gutkowska et al., 1997), the aim of this study was to determine whether a relationship between the two peptides is present also in the rat ...

Role of Connexin 36 in Autoregulation of Oxytocin Neuronal Activity in Rat Supraoptic Nucleus [PDF]
ASN Neuro, 2019 In the supraoptic nucleus (SON), the incidence of dye coupling among oxytocin (OT) neurons increases significantly in nursing mothers. However, the type(s) of connexin (Cx) involved is(are) unknown.

The adaptive brain: Glenn Hatton and the supraoptic nucleus. [PDF]
J Neuroendocrinol, 2010 In December 2009, Glenn Hatton died, and neuroendocrinology lost a pioneer who had done much to forge our present understanding of the hypothalamus and whose productivity had not faded with the passing years. Glenn, an expert in both functional morphology and electrophysiology, was driven by a will to understand the significance of his observations in ...

Immunoreactivity and distribution of Fos in the mouse brain following diverse general anesthetics [PDF]
Scientific ReportsGeneral anesthesia induces a range of effects, including unconsciousness, analgesia, amnesia, and immobility. Despite its widespread use for over a century, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood.
