DOI: 10.18502/ijrm.v21i2.12801
Abstract: Abstract Background Increased levels of kisspeptin are associated with hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis dysfunction. It may lead to the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Objective We aimed to investigate the effect of prenatal kisspeptin antagonist exposure… read more here.

DOI: 10.5607/en20038
Abstract: Fear-related behaviors are rigidly controlled by the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). The mPFC is activated by the prosocial hormone oxytocin, which plays an important role in social buffering. We used a slice patch current-clamp recording… read more here.
