Glutamate and GABA mediate suprachiasmatic nucleus inputs to spinal-projecting paraventricular neurons.
We used patch-clamp recordings in slice preparations from Sprague-Dawley rats to evaluate responses of 20 spinal-projecting neurons in the dorsal paraventricular nucleus (PVN) to electrical stimulation in suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Neurons containing a retrograde label transported from the thoracic (T(1)-T(4)) intermediolateral column displayed three intrinsic properties that collectively a...
متن کاملOrexin depolarizes rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus neurons.
Orexins, also called hypocretins, are newly discovered hypothalamic peptides that are thought to be involved in various physiological functions. In spite of the fact that orexin receptors, especially orexin receptor 2, are abundant in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), the effects of orexins on PVN neurons remain unknown. Using a whole cell patch-clamp recording technique, we inves...
متن کاملLeptin depolarizes rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus neurons.
Leptin, the protein product of the ob/ obgene, is thought to have a central site of action, presumably within the hypothalamus, through which it regulates feeding behavior. The paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is one structure that has been implicated in regulating feeding behavior. Using patch-clamp recording techniques, this study examines the direct membrane effects of leptin on neurons in a co...
متن کاملFeeding inhibition by urocortin in the rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus.
Ventricular administration of urocortin (UCN) inhibits feeding, but specific site(s) of UCN action are unknown. In the current studies we examined the effect of UCN in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) on feeding. We tested UCN administered into the PVN in several paradigms: deprivation-induced, nocturnal, and neuropeptide Y (NPY)-induced feeding. We compared the effect of equimola...
متن کاملANP presence in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus of developing rat.
In previous research, we studied both the oxytocin and vasopressin ontogeny in the hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei, and the ANP-ontogeny in the hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus. In this paper we evaluate the ANP-ontogeny in the rat hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus; infact the suprachiasmatic nucleus it is known to synthesize vasopressin, a peptidic hormone involved in the ...
