Using a combination of anterograde and retrograde neuronal tract-tracing techniques, the
descending projections from the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) to the …

This study provides an analysis of the chemoarchitecture of the posterior hypothalamic area
(PHA) and a retrograde transport analysis of inputs to the PHA in the rat. The …

Opioids depress minute ventilation primarily by reducing respiratory rate. This results from
direct effects on the preBötzinger Complex as well as from depression of the …

The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) coordinates neuroendocrine,
autonomic, and behavioral responses to help maintain energy and body water balance. The …

Obesity is quickly becoming one of the most common and debilitating disorders of the
developed world. More than 60% of American adults are now overweight or obese …

For almost two decades, researchers have demonstrated that hypertension is reliably
associated with decreased perception of pain. More recently, a growing body of evidence …

The paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH) exerts many of its regulatory functions
through projections to spinal cord neurons that control autonomic and sensory functions. By …

Neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) are key controllers of
sympathetic nerve activity and receive input from angiotensin II (ANG II)–containing neurons …

In the field of obesity research, two separate lines of study have emerged which explore the
mechanism by which food intake is regulated: short‐term control of food intake, and the …

We have recently shown that intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of the hypothalamic
neuropeptide cocaine-amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) inhibits food intake and …
