Based on electrophysiological, neurochemical, genetic and neuropharmacological
approaches, it is currently accepted that serotonin (5-HT) functions predominantly to …

The lateral hypothalamus (LH) is a functionally and anatomically complex brain region that
is involved in the regulation of many behavioral and physiological processes including …

The neurochemical changes underlying human emotions and social behaviour are largely
unknown. Here we report on the changes in the levels of two hypothalamic neuropeptides …

Melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic neuropeptide present in the hypothalamus
of all vertebrates. MCH is implicated in a number of behaviors but direct evidence is lacking …

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is generated and maintained by the interaction of a
variety of neurotransmitter systems in the brainstem, forebrain, and hypothalamus. Within …

Based on electrophysiological, neurochemical, genetic and neuropharmacological
approaches it is currently accepted that serotonin (5-HT) functions to promote waking (W) …

Abstract Purpose of Review Since the formal discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep
in 1953, we have gained a vast amount of knowledge regarding the specific populations of …

The melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a 19 aminoacid peptide found in mammals
predominantly in neurons located in the lateral hypothalamus and incerto-hypothalamic …

Survival depends on an organism's ability to sense nutrient status and accordingly regulate
intake and energy expenditure behaviors. Uncoupling of energy sensing and behavior …

The melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is an important peptide implicated in the control
of motivated behaviors. History, however, made this peptide first known for its participation in …
