Abstract: The arcuate nucleus (ARH) is an important hypothalamic area for the homeostatic control of feeding and other metabolic functions. In the ARH, proopiomelanocortin- (POMC) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP)-expressing neurons play a key role in the… read more here.

Abstract: Genetic variants of Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) and its neuronal tyrosine kinase receptor ErbB4 are associated with risk for schizophrenia, a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by excitatory/inhibitory imbalance and dopamine (DA) dysfunction. To date, most ErbB4 studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2122700119
Abstract: Significance One of the most important morphological properties in the cerebral cortex is the columnar structure, where axonal projections occur precisely within individual vertical columns. However, how such precise axonal projections arise during development is… read more here.

Abstract: STUDY OBJECTIVES The pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPT) is implicated in many brain functions, ranging from sleep/wake control and locomotion, to reward mechanisms and learning. The PPT contains cholinergic, GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons with extensive ascending… read more here.

Abstract: Some hypothalamic neurons expressing estrogen receptor α (Esr1) are thought to transmit a gonadal estrogen feedback signal to gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1 (GnRH1) neurons, which is the final common pathway for feedback regulation of reproductive functions.… read more here.
