Neuroendocrine and immune influences on the CNS: it's a matter of sex.

13 Oct 2009 Most neuropsychiatric diseases have a sex bias in their presentation, age of onset, or treatment response. Yet surprisingly, we have considered very little the contribution of the sexually dimorphic brain when thinking about disease etiology and the ... Read more...

Hypothalamic neuroendocrine circuitry is programmed by maternal obesity: interaction with postnatal nutritional environment.

14 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: Early life nutrition is critical for the development of hypothalamic neurons involved in energy homeostasis. We previously showed that intrauterine and early postnatal overnutrition programmed hypothalamic neurons expressing the appetite ... Read more...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms related to HPA axis reactivity.

27 Jun 2009 A very important question in the neuroendocrinology of stress-related disorders is why some individuals thrive and others break down under similar adverse conditions. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is the central component of the ... Read more...
