The hypothalamic NPVF circuit modulates ventral raphe activity during nociception
RFamide neuropeptide VF (NPVF) is expressed by neurons in the hypothalamus and has been implicated in nociception, but the circuit mechanisms remain unexplored. Here, we studied the structural and functional connections from NPVF neurons to downstream targets in the context of nociception, using novel transgenic lines, optogenetics, and calcium imaging in behaving larval zebrafish. We found a s...
متن کاملRegulation of ventral midbrain patterning by Hedgehog signaling.
In the developing ventral midbrain, the signaling molecule sonic hedgehog (SHH) is sufficient to specify a striped pattern of cell fates (midbrain arcs). Here, we asked whether and precisely how hedgehog (HH) signaling might be necessary for ventral midbrain patterning. By blocking HH signaling by in ovo misexpression of Ptc1(Delta)(loop2), we show that HH signaling is necessary and can act dir...
متن کاملMidbrain adrenergic mechanisms modulating flight behaviour induced by hypothalamic stimulation.
The present study was carried out in ten cats of either sex. Flight response was obtained by electrical stimulation of dorsomedial regions of preoptic area (A13-14.5, L3.5 V-3.5 to -3.7) and lateral hypothalamic regions (A12.5, L2.5-3.5, V-3.7). It consisted of a goal directed attempt to get out of the cage with a vigorous leaping to foot. Norepinephrine when microinjected in 10 micrograms dose...
متن کاملEfficient expansion and dopaminergic differentiation of human fetal ventral midbrain neural stem cells by midbrain morphogens.
Human fetal midbrain tissue grafting has provided proof-of-concept for dopamine cell replacement therapy (CRT) in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, limited tissue availability has hindered the development and widespread use of this experimental therapy. Here we present a method for generating large numbers of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons based on expanding and differentiating neural stem...
متن کاملHypothalamic modulation of the midbrain dopaminergic system
Ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopaminergic (DAergic) and GABAergic neurons are critically involved in mechanisms of reward, reinforcement and emotional arousal. The hypothalamus regulates the homeostatic drive to eat and sends a massive output to the VTA, including projections from neurons containing orexins, the novel neuropeptides, which potently modulate arousal and feeding. Single-unit extra...
