Decoding ventromedial hypothalamic neural activity during male mouse aggression.
The ventromedial hypothalamus, ventrolateral area (VMHvl) was identified recently as a critical locus for inter-male aggression. Optogenetic stimulation of VMHvl in male mice evokes attack toward conspecifics and inactivation of the region inhibits natural aggression, yet very little is known about its underlying neural activity. To understand its role in promoting aggression, we recorded and a...
متن کاملVENTROMEDIAL HYPOTHALAMIC NUCLEI AND FEEDING BEHAVIOR
The role of the ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus (VMN) in food behavior was studied in adult male rats, allocated in 3 groups: control, sham and lesioned. Electrolytic lesions were induced stereotaxically (1.2 mA, 15 sec). Results revealed a significant decrease (p<O.05) in body weight (BW) and food intake (FI) in the order of lesioned <sham <control during the fIrst week. However, ...
متن کاملOvarian Hormone-Induced Neural Plasticity In The Hypothalamic Ventromedial Nucleus
Ovarian hormones act throughout the brain and body to influence a range of functions and behaviors. Estrogens and progesterone are neuroprotective and have important health implications. However, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying many of their actions is incomplete. The goal of this thesis is to elucidate details of ovarian hormone-induced neural plasticity, specifically as it rela...
متن کاملAnterior hypothalamic neural activation and neurochemical associations with aggression in pair-bonded male prairie voles.
Male prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) display mating-induced pair bonding indicated by social affiliation with their female partners and aggression toward unfamiliar conspecifics. In the present study, we characterized their aggression associated with pair bonding and examined the related neuronal activation and neurochemical architecture. Males that were pair-bonded for 2 weeks displayed i...
