The hypothalamic control of prolactin secretion is different from other anterior pituitary
hormones, in that it is predominantly inhibitory, by means of dopamine from the …

The hypothalamus is among the most phylogenetically conserved regions in the vertebrate
brain, reflecting its critical role in maintaining physiological and behavioural homeostasis. By …

No previous report in any species has examined comprehensively the projections of the
median raphe (MR) nucleus with modern tracing techniques. The present report represents …

Tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive fibres in the rat neostriatum were studied in the
electron microscope in order to determine the nature of the contacts they make with other …

Prolactin is a 23 kDa single chain protein of 199 amino acids synthesised and released
principally by lactotrophs in the anterior pituitary gland. The secretion is mainly under …

Hypocretin has been identified as a regulator of metabolic and endocrine systems. Several
brain regions involved in the central regulation of autonomic and endocrine processes or …

The modulatory actions of dopamine on the flow of cortical information through the basal
ganglia are mediated mainly through two subtypes of receptors, the D1 and D2 receptors. In …

Nesfatin-1 is a recently identified satiety molecule detectable in neurons of the
hypothalamus and nucleus of solitary tract (NTS). Immunohistochemical studies revealed …

Energy homeostasis, food intake, and body weight are regulated by specific brain circuits.
Here we introduce an unexpected neuron, the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) neuron of the …

An immunocytochemical analysis with 33 antisera was undertaken to investigate the
localization of 25 different neurotransmitter-related antigens in the hypothalamic …
