To survive in complex and unpredictable environments, humans and other animals need to learn to predict the consequences of ...

These project from the arcuate nucleus to other key hypothalamic nuclei, such as the paraventricular, dorsomedial, ventromedial and lateral hypothalamic nuclei. There are also projections to and ...

Indian Institute of Science scientists have discovered how specific brain regions collaborate to manage chronic pain in mice, particularly from chemotherapy. Key findings show the lateral ...

Researchers have uncovered new insights into how a specific group of brain cells, melanin-concentrating hormone neurons, ...

Researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) and the University of Cologne in Germany looked at the neural firing rates in the brain's lateral hypothalamus, a region that plays a ...

Whole-brain anatomical and activity surveys identify the lateral hypothalamus as a key driver of recovery from spinal cord injury, leading to a deep brain stimulation therapy that augments the ...

Chronic pain, often overwhelming and debilitating, can sometimes be alleviated by stress, fear, or hunger. Scientists at the Center for Neuroscience ...

In addition, we found clear expression in the PFC, paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN), and amygdala (Fig. 1A–D and Supplementary Fig. 1A). MARCKSL1 expression varied among amygdala subregions, ...

If you've ever seen people at the gym or the park jumping, hopping or hurling weighted balls to the ground, chances are they ...
