Model Roles of the Hypothalamo-Neurohypophysial System in Neuroscience Study
Studies on the Hypothalamo-Neurohypophysial System (HNS) have played a pivotal role in establishing the fundamental principles of neuroscience. Examples include the identification of excitation-secretion coupling, coexistence of peptides-containing large dense core vesicles with classical neurotransmitters, neuronal-glial interactions, functionsassociated morphological plasticity, and domain-sp...
متن کاملGene regulation in the magnocellular hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system.
The hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system (HNS) is the major peptidergic neurosecretory system through which the brain controls peripheral physiology. The hormones vasopressin and oxytocin released from the HNS at the neurohypophysis serve homeostatic functions of water balance and reproduction. From a physiological viewpoint, the core question on the HNS has always been, "How is the rate of horm...
متن کاملFluorescent visualization of oxytocin in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system
Oxytocin (OXT) is well known for its ability to the milk ejection reflex and uterine contraction. It is also involved in several other behaviors, such as anti-nociception, anxiety, feeding, social recognition, and stress responses. OXT is synthesized in the magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) in the hypothalamic paraventricular (PVN) and the supraoptic nuclei (SON) that terminate their ax...
متن کاملThe hypothalamo-neurohypophysial response to melatonin.
The present paper reviews the findings accumulated on the role of pineal gland and its hormone - melatonin - in regulation of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system activity. Effects of modified photoperiod, pinealectomy or treatment with melatonin on the vasopressin and oxytocin biosynthesis and/or secretion have been described. Taken together, the in vivo and in vitro data suggest that the e...
متن کاملAn Examination of the Hypothalamo-neurohypophysial System of the Rat: Restoration of the Vasopressinergic System
The hypothalamo-neurohypophysial model has been studied for many years. note , when the axons of the magnocellular, peptidergic neurons of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) are transected or crushed, varing degrees polydipsia and polyuria ensue as the result of measurable losses of vasopressin (A VP) within the organism s circulation. Following insult, these hypotha...
