A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has revealed that mice spontaneously help ...

They discovered that oxytocin (OXT) neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus are activated when the observer mouse detects distress signals from a peer. These neurons release OXT ...

As the day progresses, and light signals to the retinal ganglion cells subside due to lack of sunlight, the SCN is inhibited and instead activates the paraventricular nucleus. As a result of this ...

These neurons, known as pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, send signals to the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT), which is a brain region involved in regulating eating behaviors.

The brain region with the highest density of these receptors was the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT), known to regulate feeding and other behaviours. That suggested that sugar ...

This study investigated the effects of IMD in paraventricular nucleus (PVN) on renal sympathetic nerve activity and mean arterial pressure and its downstream mechanism in hypertension. Rats were ...

Using a rodent stress model, researchers at the Laboratory of Thalamus Research, HUN-REN Institute of Experimental Medicine discovered a sustained increase in neural activity that persisted for ...

Then, the researchers developed a system to expose only one small area of the rats' brains, known as the posterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (pPVT), to suvorexant, rather than giving ...

In a highly novel study, researchers describe how two major neuronal subpopulations in a part of the brain's thalamus called the paraventricular nucleus participate in the dynamic regulation of ...

The researchers then used optical photometry and the calcium sensor GCaMP to continuously monitor activity of two major neuronal subpopulations of the paraventricular nucleus, or PVT, during the ...

The anterior region is also called the supraoptic region. Its major nuclei include the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus. There are several other smaller nuclei in the anterior region ...
