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 ...

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 ...

Additionally, the team discovered that neurons that express SH2B1 create a circuit, talking to neurons downstream in an area known as the dorsal raphe nucleus, located in the brainstem.

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 ...

An atom contains protons and neutrons in its central nucleus. In fission, the nucleus splits, either through radioactive decay or because it has been bombarded by other subatomic particles known ...
