- Description
Hypothalamic melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) polypeptide contributes to regulating energy homeostasis, sleep, and memory. However, the mechanistic bases of its effects are still unclear. This study found that the physiological mechanism underlying the functional role of MCH signaling in projections to the dorsolateral septum (dLS), which is a region involved in routing hippocampal firing rhythms...

- Description
Oxytocin is a neuropeptide released in the central nervous system, which is involved in a wide range of behaviors including reproduction, parental care, and pair bonding. In addition, peripheral oxytocin is important for milk ejection during nursing and uterine contractions during labor. Oxytocin is produced mainly in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. This...
