Estrogen Signaling in the Ventromedial Hypothalamus Modulates Adipose Tissue Metabolic Adaptation
… in the ventrolateral region of the ventromedial hypothalamus (vlVMH), a sex-dimorphic structure that directly modulates brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis. We previously showed that an ERαvlVMH-originated neural circuit responds to changes in ambient temperature and nutritional …

Opiate Regulation of Lordosis: Neurochemical Evaluation of the Role of Opiate-Serotonergic Interactions
… facilitation of behavior by progesterone. The medial preoptic area (POA) was found to be important in the actions of naltrexone. The role of serotonergic systems in the opiate regulation of lordosis was examined. Lesions of hypothalamic serotonergic terminals blocked the inhibition of behavior …

Identification of central circuitry components mediating anorexigenic properties of oxytocin
… only the nucleus accumbens and ventral tegmental area of the mesolimbic system, and the brainstem’s dorsal vagal complex, have been directly implicated in relaying OT-induced hypophagia. Thus, the overarching goal of this thesis was to examine which discrete components of circuitry expressing the …

Maternal Behavior in the Rat: Neuroendocrine and Neuroanatomical Substrates
<p>A pathway connecting the preoptic region and the ventral midbrain regulates the performance of maternal behavior by female rats. There Is also evidence that the facilitatory action of estrogen on maternal behavior is mediated via estrogen target cells In the medial preoptic region. Neither the …
