Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. Although previous ...

Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...

Researchers have successfully treated two unrelated children with characteristics of leptin dysfunction — including intense hyperphagia, impaired satiety, and severe, early onset obesity — only after ...

Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. Featured in the February ...

BATON ROUGE – Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. Featured in the ...

Phase I dose escalation study of pan-histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor abexinostat in combination with cisplatin in patients with advanced non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma. E1308: ...

“Up until now, the scientific community thought that leptin acts exclusively in neurons to modulate behavior and body weight,” Horvath said in a press release. “This work is now changing that paradigm ...

Axons from AgRP neurons, in red, innervate oxytocin neurons, in green, in the PVH. Neuronal activity of AgRP neurons is required for normal targeting of their axons to oxytocin neurons, as well as for ...
