DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2018.07.001
Abstract: The present study was undertaken because no previous developmental studies exist on MCH neurons in any avian species. After validating a commercially-available antibody for use in chickens, immunohistochemical examinations first detected MCH neurons around embryonic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2022.04.006
Abstract: Orexin and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons constitute the energy balance circuitry that coordinates the fasting response. Orexin neurons mediate food foraging at the expense of energy storage, while MCH neurons promote energy storage by reducing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jne.13222
Abstract: Melanin‐concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons within the hypothalamus are heterogeneous and can coexpress additional neuropeptides and transmitters. The majority of MCH neurons express vesicular transporters to package glutamate for synaptic release, and MCH neurons can directly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.aax9238
Abstract: A brain pathway for active forgetting Sleep affects memories via several mechanisms. Izawa et al. identified a possible new pathway in the brain: REM sleep–active hypothalamic melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH)–producing neurons, which, among others, project to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2021.639313
Abstract: The lateral hypothalamus (LH) is classically implicated in sleep-wake control. It is the main source of orexin/hypocretin and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neuropeptides in the brain, which have been both implicated in arousal state switching. These… read more here.

Selective activation of the hypothalamic orexinergic but not melanin-concentrating hormone neurons following pilocarpine-induced seizures in rats

DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2022.1056706
Abstract: Introduction Sleep disorders are common comorbidities in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Since the lateral hypothalamic (LH) and the perifornical orexinergic (ORX) and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons… read more here.
