Abstract: Pronounced environmental changes between the day and night led to evolution of specialised mechanisms organising their daily physiology, named circadian clocks. Currently, it has become clear that the master clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of… read more here.

Abstract: The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) contains dense orexin 2 (OX2) receptor. We examined the mechanisms of OX2 receptor-mediated excitation on electrophysiologically identified type I (putative magnocellular), low-threshold spikes (LTS)-expressing type II (putative preautonomic),… read more here.
