[HTML][HTML] Somatostatin neurons in prefrontal cortex initiate sleep-preparatory behavior and sleep via the preoptic and lateral hypothalamus
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) enables mammals to respond to situations, including internal
states, with appropriate actions. One such internal state could be 'tiredness'. Here, using …

Functional consequences of neuropeptide and small-molecule co-transmission
Colocalization of small-molecule and neuropeptide transmitters is common throughout the
nervous system of all animals. The resulting co-transmission, which provides conjoint …

Homeostasis meets motivation in the battle to control food intake
Signals of energy homeostasis interact closely with neural circuits of motivation to control
food intake. An emerging hypothesis is that the transition to maladaptive feeding behavior …

REM sleep–active MCH neurons are involved in forgetting hippocampus-dependent memories
The neural mechanisms underlying memory regulation during sleep are not yet fully
understood. We found that melanin concentrating hormone–producing neurons (MCH …

Multifaceted actions of melanin-concentrating hormone on mammalian energy homeostasis
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a small cyclic peptide expressed in all mammals,
mainly in the hypothalamus. MCH acts as a robust integrator of several physiological …
