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...

Comparison of the spatial distribution of seven types of neuroendocrine neurons in the rat paraventricular nucleus: toward a global 3D model.

8 Oct 2009 The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) coordinates neuroendocrine, autonomic, and behavioral responses to help maintain energy and body water balance. The rat paraventricular nucleus has three major divisions: descending with axonal ... Read more...

Secretin as a neurohypophysial factor regulating body water homeostasis.

30 Aug 2009 Hypothalamic magnocellular neurons express either one of the neurohypophysial hormones, vasopressin or oxytocin, along with different neuropeptides or neuromodulators. Axonal terminals of these neurons are generally accepted to release solely the ... Read more...
