Kisspeptin Activation of Supraoptic Nucleus Neurons in Vivo [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2011 Oxytocin and vasopressin are synthesized by magnocellular neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei and are released from the posterior pituitary gland into the circulation. Intravenous administration of the ligand for the G protein-coupled receptor 54 receptor, kisspeptin-10, increases plasma oxytocin levels and ...

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.

Osmotic perception of GABAergic synaptic transmission in the supraoptic nucleus of rats [PDF]
IBRO Reports, 2020 Extracellular osmolality plays a crucial role in controlling the activation of neurons. Hypertonic stimulation modulates glutamatergic inputs to the supraoptic nucleus (SON) magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) putative vasopressin (VP) neurons ...

INTERCOMMUNICATION IN THE RAT SUPRAOPTIC NUCLEUS
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology, 1983 The vasopressin and oxytocin cells of the rat supraoptic nucleus fire in characteristic discharge patterns during hormone release. The present paper discusses the possible role of intercommunication between supraoptic neurones in determining these patterns.

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 ...

Effects of nitric oxide on magnocellular neurons of the supraoptic nucleus involve multiple mechanisms [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2014 Physiological evidence indicates that the supraoptic nucleus (SON) is an important region for integrating information related to homeostasis of body fluids. Located bilaterally to the optic chiasm, this nucleus is composed of magnocellular neurosecretory

P2X2 Receptor Expression and Function Is Upregulated in the Rat Supraoptic Nucleus Stimulated Through Refeeding After Fasting [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Magnocellular neurons in the supraoptic nucleus (SON), which synthesize and release arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT), express several subtypes of ATP-stimulated purinergic P2X receptors (P2XR) that modulate neuronal activity as well as ...

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.

Oxytocin Removes Estrous Female vs. Male Preference of Virgin Male Rats: Mediation of the Supraoptic Nucleus Via Olfactory Bulbs [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017 Social functions of oxytocin (OT) have been explored extensively; however, relationship between the effect of intranasally applied OT (nasal OT) on the social preference (SP) and intracerebral actions of endogenous OT remains unclear.

Effect of interaction between acute administration of morphine and cannabinoid compounds on spontaneous excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic currents of magnocellular neurons of supraoptic nucleus [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2016 Objective(s): Opioids and cannabinoids are two important compounds that have been shown to influence the activity of magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of supraoptic nucleus (SON).
