Researchers at the Foundation (CF) have identified a key neural circuit involved in sexual rejection, uncovering a group of ...

A new study uncovers how progesterone-responsive neurons in the anterior ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) toggle between ...

Activating certain neurons during fertile phases set off rejection behavior, while silencing them in non-receptive females ...

and demonstrated that SF-1-positive VMH neurons control the response to exercise in skeletal muscle through the sympathetic nervous system. He also conducted a genetic screen in fruit flies to ...

They subsequently found that BDNF neurons in the VMH—but not elsewhere—are activated when animals become obese, suggesting ...

A large body of evidence implicates endogenous dopaminergic and serotonergic rhythms in SCN and VMH in the transition from the insulin-sensitive to insulin-resistant state. The VMH has multiple ...
