Altered physiological states require neuronal adaptation. In late pregnancy and lactation, a
sub-population of the mouse hypothalamic tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons …

Tuberoinfundibular dopamine (TIDA) neurons are the central regulators of prolactin (PRL)
secretion. Their extensive functional plasticity allows a change from low PRL secretion in the …

Prolactin (PRL) secretion from the anterior pituitary is tonically inhibited by
tuberoinfundibular dopamine (TIDA) neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus …

During pregnancy, neuroendocrine control of prolactin secretion is markedly altered to allow
a state of hyperprolactinaemia to develop. Prolactin secretion is normally tightly regulated by …

Prolactin stimulates dopamine release from neuroendocrine dopaminergic (NEDA) neurons
in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) to maintain low levels of serum prolactin …

The output of prolactin (PRL) is highly dynamic with dramatic changes in its secretion from
the anterior pituitary gland depending on prevailing physiological status. In adult female …

During lactation, there are numerous functional adaptations in the maternal brain. There is
evidence that the high levels of circulating prolactin present during lactation might contribute …

Stress can cause pregnancy failure but it is unclear how the mother's neuroendocrine
system responds to stress to impair mechanisms establishing implantation. We analysed …

Numerous studies have documented prolactin regulation of a variety of brain functions,
including maternal behavior, regulation of oxytocin neurons, regulation of feeding and …

Prolactin plays major roles in maintaining the corpora lutea of pregnancy and in the
synthesis of milk during lactation. The hypothalamic mechanisms involved in these functions …
