Natriuretic Hormones in Brain Function
Natriuretic hormones (NH) include three groups of compounds: the natriuretic peptides (ANP, BNP and CNP), the gastrointestinal peptides (guanylin and uroguanylin), and endogenous cardiac steroids. These substances induce the kidney to excrete sodium and therefore participate in the regulation of sodium and water homeostasis, blood volume, and blood pressure (BP). In addition to their peripheral...
متن کاملThyroid Hormones in Brain Development and Function
Thyroid hormones are essential for brain developat through specific time windows influencing neurogenesis, neuronal migration, neuronal and glial cell differentiation, myelination, and synaptogenesis. The actions of thyroid hormones are mostly due to interaction of the active hormone T3 with nuclear receptors and regulation of gene expression. T4 and T3 also perform non-genomic actions. The gen...
متن کاملPubertal hormones organize the adolescent brain and behavior.
Maturation of the reproductive system during puberty results in elevated levels of gonadal steroid hormones. These hormones sculpt neural circuits during adolescence, a time of dramatic rewiring of the nervous system. Here, we review the evidence that steroid-dependent organization of the adolescent brain programs a variety of adult behaviors in animals and humans. Converging lines of evidence ...
متن کاملInfluence of photoperiod on hormones, behavior, and immune function.
Photoperiodism is the ability of plants and animals to measure environmental day length to ascertain time of year. Central to the evolution of photoperiodism in animals is the adaptive distribution of energetically challenging activities across the year to optimize reproductive fitness while balancing the energetic tradeoffs necessary for seasonally-appropriate survival strategies. The ability ...
متن کاملVariability in Brain Function and Behavior
Information. An increasingly difficult and important term to define. Central to the concept is that there are aspects of reality which need to be characterized not in terms of matter or energy but rather in terms of the particular organized forms taken by one or the other or both. Similar information, for example, can be embodied as signals in motions of the air (sound waves), ink on a page (pr...
