Network of hypothalamic neurons that control appetite
The central nervous system (CNS) controls food intake and energy expenditure via tight coordinations between multiple neuronal populations. Specifically, two distinct neuronal populations exist in the arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus (ARH): the anorexigenic (appetite-suppressing) pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons and the orexigenic (appetite-increasing) neuropeptide Y (NPY)/agouti-related pept...
متن کاملPlasticity of GABAergic control of hypothalamic presympathetic neurons in hypertension.
Increased sympathetic outflow contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension. However, the mechanisms of increased sympathetic drive in hypertension remain unclear. We examined the tonic GABAergic inhibition in control of the excitability of paraventricular (PVN) presympathetic neurons in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive controls, including Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Wistar-...
متن کاملControl of hypothalamic orexin neurons by acid and CO2.
Hypothalamic orexin/hypocretin neurons recently emerged as key orchestrators of brain states and adaptive behaviors. They are critical for normal stimulation of wakefulness and breathing: Orexin loss causes narcolepsy and compromises vital ventilatory adaptations. However, it is unclear how orexin neurons generate appropriate adjustments in their activity during changes in physiological circums...
متن کاملIntroduction to special topic—estrogenic control of hypothalamic GnRH neurons
In female mammals, sexual maturation is initiated by a change in the release pattern of pituitary gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and a consequential increase in the secretion of ovarian sex-steroids, estradiol and progesterone. Orchestrating these endocrine changes is a diffuse population of hypothalamic neurons that produce the neuropeptide, gon...
متن کاملOrphaned No More? Glucose-Sensing Hypothalamic Neurons Control Insulin Secretion.
Well before Dr. Minkowski discovered the role of the pancreas in regulating blood glucose (1889), Dr. Bernard had discovered the role of the brain (specifically the base of the fourth ventricle) in regulating blood glucose (1849). Bernard’s basic observation has been replicated by many interventions involving pharmacological manipulations directed toward the brain stem (1). Nevertheless, the ov...
