Abstract: Abstract Paced mating induces a positive affective state which is blocked by naloxone, an opioid antagonist. Opioids are released in the medial preoptic area (mPOA) and other brain regions during sexual behavior and &mgr; opioid… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejn.15937
Abstract: In the face of imminent predatory danger, animals quickly detect the threat and mobilize key survival defensive actions, such as escape and freezing. The dorsomedial portion of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) is a central node… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3960482
Abstract: In normal hormonal conditions, increased neuronal activity in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) induces lordosis whereas activation of the preoptic area (POA) exerts an opposite effect. In the present work, we explored the effect of bilateral… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biom13050822
Abstract: The transcripts for Bdnf (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), driven by different promoters, are expressed in different brain regions to control different body functions. Specific promoter(s) that regulates energy balance remain unclear. We show that disruption of… read more here.
