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

A team from the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) has pinpointed a critical neural circuit for sexual rejection, identifying a set of brain cells that play a crucial role in determining whether a female ...

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

HoM and HeW processed AND similarly, with activations in the preoptic and ventromedial hypothalamic areas. The anterior hypothalamus was activated by EST in HeM and by AND in HeW and HoM.

这项研究中，研究人员揭示了一条压力诱导的葡萄糖释放的新通路，并为阐明机体的葡萄糖稳态和识别压力相关代谢紊乱的潜在治疗性靶点提供了新的重要见解。综上，本文研究阐明了压力期间机体葡萄糖供应的精确时间尺度，其分别是由肾上腺非依赖性HSL和肾上腺依赖性途径所 ...

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 ...

US researchers have found an astonishingly simple brain circuit of just three types of neurons controls chewing motions in mice, and has a surprising impact on their appetite too. "It's surprising ...
