Selective changes in vasopressin neurons and astrocytes in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of Prader–Willi syndrome subjects

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) hosts the central circadian pacemaker and regulates daily rhythms in physiology and behavior. The SCN is composed of peptidergic neuron populations expressing arginine vasopressin (AVP) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), as well as glial cells.

Actin Filaments Mediate Mechanical Gating during Osmosensory Transduction in Rat Supraoptic Nucleus Neurons

Journal of Neuroscience, 2007
Osmosensory transduction is a bidirectional process displayed by neurons involved in the control of thirst and antidiuretic hormone release, and is therefore crucial for body fluid homeostasis.

Expression of Sex‐Steroid Receptors and Sex Differences of Otp Glutamatergic Neurons of the Medial Extended Amygdala

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 4, April 2025.
The medial amygdala and BSTM are part of the social behavior network and include a subpopulation of glutamatergic neurons that express the transcription factor Otp. We show that the vast majority of these neurons express mRNA of gonadal hormone receptors (Ar, Esr1, and Esr2), and at least part of them are sexually dimorphic.

Pituitary gonadotropin‐releasing hormone II as a possible mediator of positive estrogen feedback

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract It has previously been shown that rhesus macaques express two forms of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GNRH1 and GNRH2) in the hypothalamus and that both forms can stimulate the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) in vivo. However, while much has been published about the role of GNRH1 in reproduction, very little is known about the ...

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.

Brainwide Projections of Mouse Dopaminergic Zona Incerta Neurons

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 3, March 2025.
Cre‐dependent viral tracing from medial dopaminergic ZI neurons revealed abundant fiber projections rostrocaudally throughout the brain. Interestingly, the midbrain motor regions, including the periaqueductal gray area and superior colliculus, contained the densest accumulation of fiber projections, and this fiber density was independent of the region ...

The dynamic relationship of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor and oxytocin: Introducing the concept of neurosocial plasticity

Neuroprotection, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 63-78, March 2025.
An overview of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and oxytocin (OT) interactions and their physiological adaptive collaboration in neurosocial plasticity requires a thorough understanding of the co‐localization, co‐expression, and co‐regulation of BDNF and OT in specific brain regions.

Neurocardiology: translational advancements and potential

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 7, Page 1729-1779, 31 March 2025.
Abstract figure legend Afferent signalling pathways of the autonomic nervous system and their efferent targets in the heart, kidneys and vasculature. Abstract In our original white paper published in the The Journal of Physiology in 2016, we set out our knowledge of the structural and functional organization of cardiac autonomic control, how it ...

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

PLoS 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)

Frontiers 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.
