Scientists discovered years ago that the hypothalamus—which helps to manage body temperature, hunger, sex drive, sleep and ...

Researchers at Brown University and Cincinnati Children’s found that suppressing opsin 3 in the brain of mice makes them eat ...

A high-resolution spatial map of the human hypothalamus makes it possible to identify specific cells, determine their exact ...

In mice, the neurons that dictate the feeling of being full are also the ones that cause sugar cravings, potentially ...

The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that integrate peripheral signals, such as adiposity and caloric intake, to regulate important pathways within the CNS controlling food intake.

Overall, the findings gathered by the researchers suggest that the risk preference of mice during reward-based decision-making tasks is supported by functionally different hypothalamus–habenula ...

The hypothalamus in the brain contains the temperature monitoring centre for the body. The hypothalamus receives nerve impulses from structures in the skin called thermoreceptors, which give ...

Researchers at Brown University and Cincinnati Children's found that suppressing opsin 3 in the brain of mice makes them eat less, raising new ...

You have full access to this article via your institution. By analogy, one could argue that CLK2 may be expressed in the hypothalamus and may have a role controlling energy homeostasis through ...

Body temperature is controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain. If the hypothalamus detects that the body is too hot, the response is that the body begins to sweat to try and reduce the ...

This important study assessed the effects of food intake on sharp wave-ripples in the hippocampus of mice during subsequent sleep. Solid evidence supports the conclusion that sharp wave-ripples are ...
