This network of stress-related neurocircuits consists of, for instance, brainstem nuclei, the amygdala, habenula, prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus. Various nuclei of the hypothalamus form indeed one of the crucial hubs in this network. This structure concerns not only the hypothalamo-pituitary-...

Metabolism and aging process influence each other. During aging, there is huge changes in body metabolism, in which the hypothalamus plays an important role. The food-regulatory neurons in the arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus (ARC), micro-inflammation and hypothalamic stem cells all influence aging p...
Gender differences in corticotropin and corticosterone secretion and corticotropin-releasing factor mRNA expression in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and the central nucleus of the amygdala in response to footshock stress or psychological.

Electrophysiological techniques and the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were used to determine the efferent projections from the caudal mediobasal hypothalamus to the amygdala. In pentobarbital anesthetized rats, the activity of 1780 mediobasal hypothalamic neurons was examined for respons...
It has been suggested that aBuTX binds irreversibly and with high specificity to the nicotinic-acetylcholine receptor of the postsynaptic membrane (6, 17), and that d-tubocurarine protects these receptors from the toxin (7, 19). These conclusions have been substantiated by the autoradiographic ...
These notions represent the starting point for some of the biggest and most compelling questions in the field, but they all come back to the same question: what makes us who we are? Personality theory Personality: your distinctive and enduring characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and beh...

Neuroanatomical investigations of androphilic men were conducted mostly in the 1990s, typically using as subjects men who had died of HIV/AIDS, dissecting specific structures within the hypothalamus, and focusing on structures already known to be sexually dimorphic. (That is, these studies pursued the...
The majority of the gut-derived peptides also play a role in the central regulation of appetite and food intake, in particular via hypothalamus nuclei [28,29,30,31,32]. Interestingly, obesity and psychiatric disorders are commonly associated [33,34,35,36,37], and a Westernized diet appears...
