Abstract: Orexins including two peptides, orexin‐A and orexin‐B, are produced in the posterior lateral hypothalamus. Much evidence has indicated that central orexinergic systems play numerous functions including energy metabolism, feeding behavior, sleep/wakefulness, and neuroendocrine and sympathetic… read more here.

Abstract: People with Rett Syndrome (RTT), a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene, have breathing abnormalities manifested as periodical hypoventilation with compensatory hyperventilation, which are attributable to a high incidence of sudden death.… read more here.

Abstract: The reproductive function of vertebrates is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. In sexually mature females, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in the preoptic area (POA) are assumed to be responsible for a cyclic large increase in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010556
Abstract: Our understanding of the firing behaviour of motoneuron (MN) pools during human voluntary muscle contractions is currently limited to electrophysiological findings from animal experiments extrapolated to humans, mathematical models of MN pools not validated for… read more here.
