A new study uncovers how progesterone-responsive neurons in the anterior ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) toggle between ...

Activating certain neurons during fertile phases set off rejection behavior, while silencing them in non-receptive females reduced rejection.

These project from the arcuate nucleus to other key hypothalamic nuclei, such as the paraventricular, dorsomedial, ventromedial and lateral hypothalamic nuclei. There are also projections to and ...

These neurons, generated from the ventral part of the periventricular epithelium during embryonic development, locate dorsally in the hypothalamus, becoming part of the ventromedial hypothalamic ...

We wanted to understand how the brain switches between these two drastically different behavioural states". Central to their ...

to ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). Then, the team investigated the sympathetic innervation of the liver and demonstrated that sympathetic activation influences CRH in glucose modulation.

In the current study, they homed in on the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), a deep-brain region linked to glucose regulation and appetite. It’s well-documented that damage in the VMH can lead to ...

A subcortical circuit that regulates food consumption in mice is described, involving neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus that are directly linked to motor centres that regulate feeding and ...
