The hypothalamus (“hypo” meaning below, and “thalamus” meaning bed) consists of
regulatory circuits that support basic life functions that ensure survival. Sitting at the interface …

The hypothalamus is an evolutionarily conserved endocrine interface that, among other
roles, links central homeostatic control to adaptive bodily responses by releasing hormones …

A substantial amount of phenotypic diversity results from changes in gene expression levels
and patterns. Understanding how the transcriptome evolves is therefore a key priority in …

The chicken continues to hold its position as a leading model organism within many areas of
research, as well as being a major source of protein for human consumption. The First …

The human brain is the most complex structure generated during development. Unveiling
the ontogenesis and the intrinsic organization of specific neural networks may represent a …

The tuberal hypothalamus controls life-supporting homeostatic processes, but despite its
fundamental role, the cells and signalling pathways that specify this unique region of the …

The hypothalamus, a small and intricate brain structure, orchestrates numerous
neuroendocrine functions through specialized neurons and nuclei. Disruption of this …

The lateral hypothalamus (LH) has a heterogeneous cytoarchitectonic organization that has
not been elucidated in detail. In this work, we analyzed within the framework of the …

Recent work shows that the developmental potential of progenitor cells in the HH10 chick
brain changes rapidly, accompanied by subtle changes in morphology. This demands …

During development, the hypothalamus emerges from the ventral diencephalon and is
regionalized into several distinct functional domains. Each domain is characterized by a …
