Neurons in the brains of mice tell them to stop eating when they’ve had enough food – and since people probably have the same ...

Researchers have identified a group of brain cells in mice that play a key role in regulating appetite. These neurons, ...

Studying the brains of mice in an area known as the dorsal raphe (located in the brainstem), the researchers found that acute stress induced a switch in the chemical signals in the neurons ...

Previously, we reported elevated levels of TPH protein in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) of depressed suicides and now examine expression of neuronal TPH2 mRNA in a cohort of matched controls and ...

PACAP is a neuropeptide involved in stress regulation, and the authors studied neurons in a part of the brain called the parabrachial nucleus that produce PACAP and project to the dorsal raphe ...

A study has found that brain chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin work together in controlling hunger and food intake, a finding which can possibly help in developing improved anti-obesity drugs.

In the monkey dorsal raphe, we reported that 1-month (mo) of estrogen replacement, with or without progesterone supplementation for 14 days, significantly increased tryptophan hydroxylase-1 (TPH-1 ...

Des chercheurs ont identifié un nouveau type de cellule cérébrale étroitement lié à la satiété chez la souris, qui pourrait ...
