    Prandial Increases of Leptin and Orexin in the Brain Modulate Spatial Learning and Memory

    Leptin is well known to be involved in the inhibition of feeding, hermogenesis, reproduction, and neuroendocrine functions through its actions on the rodent’s hypothalamic receptors. Leptin facilitated the pre...

    Functional Correlation Between Feeding-Related Neurons and Chemical Senses

    Food and water intake are regulated by glucosesensitive neurons (GSNs) in the lateral hypothalamus (LHA); the firing rates of GSNs decrease in response to glucose administered by electrophoresis [1], and to me...

    Sensing of Endogenous Chemicals in Control of Feeding

    In addition to the receptors for the commonly considered senses — sight, taste, smell, ect. — there are receptors associated with our nervous system that respond qualitatively and quantitatively to endogenous ...

    Intracellular calcium ions decrease the affinity of the GABA receptor

    Intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) plays a crucial role in the transduction of extracellular signals1. It has been implicated in the modulation of light sensitivity in Limulus photoreceptors2 and in the efficacy o...

    Bicuculline and picrotoxin block γ-aminobutryic acid-gated Cl conductance by different mechanisms

    Using isolated, internally perfused bullfrog dorsal root ganglion cells we have studied the dose-response curves for γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the presence of internally or externally applied GABA antagoni...

    Inhibitory Action of the Amygdala on the Lateral Hypothalamic Area in Rats

    THE mammalian lateral hypothalamic area (LH) and the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH) are involved in feeding and satiety function, respectively1. There is also reciprocity of electrical activity between t...

    Glucose and Osmosensitive Neurones of the Rat Hypothalamus

    THE lateral hypothalamic region (LH) is generally referred to as the feeding centre of the brain in the regulation of food intake, and many authors consider the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH) to be th...
