Behavioral and Neurochemical Effects of Neonatal Administration of Monosodium L-Glutamate in the Mouse.
… demonstrated that small bilateral lesions in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus. (VMH) produce overeating and obesity. Their observation served to focus attention on the central nervous system (CNS) as the site of systems that regulate food intake.

Sensory and Hypothalamic Control of Lordosis Behavior in Female Rodents
… pathways by which efferent fibers from the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus reach the lower brainstem. Transections interrupting both projections reduced or eliminated lordosis performance. Transections which intercepted all of the medially descending fibers, but spared the lateral …

Mutation of Polaris, an Intraflagellar Transport Protein, Shortens Neuronal Cilia
… of cilia was especially affected in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus. Furthermore, the polaris mutation curtailed cilium length more severely on postnatal day 31 than postnatal day 14. These data suggests that even after ciliogenesis, intraflagellar transport is necessary in …

Estrogen and 5-HT(1A) receptor function
… apparent when 17β-estradiol was infused into the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMN) seven days before the second treatment with systemic estradiol benzoate. Consistent with hormonal changes that occur during the estrous cycle, estradiol benzoate also reduced the effectiveness of …

An integrative analysis of the multi- and transgenerational effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on behavior and neurobiology
… genes in the medial preoptic area (POA) and ventromedial nucleus (VMN) of the hypothalamus. These regions are both hormone-sensitive and involved in the regulation of reproductive behaviors. These results did not parallel our behavioral findings from the previous chapter, since F2 males …

Life Without GPR7, the Neuropeptide W1 Receptor: Regulation of Energy Homeostasis by GPR7 and its Endogenous Neuropeptide Ligands
… Gold-thioglucose (GTG) induces lesions in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH) resulting in hyperphagia and obesity. To identify genes involved in the hypothalamic regulation of energy homeostasis, we employed a screen to search for genes that were dysregulated in GTG induced …

Role of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in hypothalamic nuclear development
… development of three of these cell groups, the ventromedial nucleus (VMN), the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), and the arcuate nucleus (ARC). The VMN and PVN have a unique pattern of GABA expression in elements surrounding the nuclei, with a void of GABA within the region of the developing …

Hypothalamic Mechanisms of Food Intake in Birds
… of hypothalamic nuclei including the arcuate nucleus, dorsomedial nucleus, lateral hypothalamus, paraventricular nucleus, and the ventromedial nucleus, and the nucleus of the hippocampal commissure. I then measured changes in gene expression in both whole hypothalamic samples and specific …

Neuroanatomical specificity of prolactin-induced hyperphagia and expression of fos-like immunoreactivity following central administration of prolactin
… investigated the role of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), ventromedial nucleus (VMH), and medial preoptic nucleus (MPOA) in the hyperphagic actions of PRL. Ad libitum fed virgin female rats received twice daily site-specific injections of PRL (800 ng) over a period of 10 days. Only subjects …
