A 70-year-old hypothesis that a rostral hypothalamic area is essential for maintaining sleep is re-awakened by the demonstration that the sleep-active ventrolateral preoptic neurons interact with ...

Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of the hypothalamic preoptic area of monogamous and promiscuous deer mouse species reveals neuronal differences that may be responsible for innate changes in mating and ...

neurons that modulate appetite control. There are projections from the ARC to other hypothalamic nuclei, as well as the cerebral cortex and reward pathways. Multiple neuropeptides have been ...

Additionally, the team observed that after a fasting period, BNC2 neurons became highly active in response to feeding, ...

Specific research foci include the development of a population of neuroendocrine neurons critical for vertebrate reproduction, functional and structural evolution of reproductive neurohormones, and ...
