Journal ArticleDOI
A visual circuit uses complementary mechanisms to support transient and sustained pupil constriction
William T Keenan,Alan C. Rupp,Rachel A. Ross,Rachel A. Ross,Preethi Somasundaram,Suja Hiriyanna,Zhijian Wu,Tudor C. Badea,Phyllis R. Robinson,Bradford B. Lowell,Bradford B. Lowell,Samer Hattar +11 more
TL;DR: This work investigates the neural basis of pupil control by monitoring pupil size across time while manipulating each photoreceptor input or neurotransmitter output of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), a critical relay in the control of pupil size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deconstructing the Gestalt: Mechanisms of Fear, Threat, and Trauma Memory Encoding.
Stephanie A. Maddox,Stephanie A. Maddox,Jakob Hartmann,Jakob Hartmann,Rachel A. Ross,Rachel A. Ross,Kerry J. Ressler,Kerry J. Ressler +7 more
TL;DR: Key recent findings are examined, as well as the importance of hormonal and physiological approaches are integrated to provide a broader perspective of how bodily systems engaged in threat responses may interact with amygdala-based circuits in the encoding and updating of threat-related memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory cytokines in major depressive disorder: A case–control study:
Paolo Cassano,Eric Bui,Andrew H. Rogers,Zandra E. Walton,Rachel A. Ross,Mary Zeng,Mireya Nadal-Vicens,David Mischoulon,Amanda W. Baker,Aparna Keshaviah,John J. Worthington,Elizabeth A. Hoge,Jonathan E. Alpert,Maurizio Fava,Kwok K. Wong,Naomi M. Simon +15 more
TL;DR: The heterogeneity of major depressive disorder, as well as a potential sampling bias selecting for non-inflammatory depression, might have determined the findings discordant with the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
PACAP neurons in the ventral premammillary nucleus regulate reproductive function in the female mouse.
Rachel A. Ross,Silvia Leon,Joseph C. Madara,Joseph C. Madara,Danielle Schafer,Chrysanthi Fergani,Chrysanthi Fergani,Caroline A Maguire,Anne M.J. Verstegen,Anne M.J. Verstegen,Emily Brengle,Emily Brengle,Dong Kong,Allan E. Herbison,Ursula B. Kaiser,Ursula B. Kaiser,Bradford B. Lowell,Bradford B. Lowell,Víctor M. Navarro,Víctor M. Navarro +19 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PACAP-expressing neurons of the ventral premamillary nucleus of the hypothalamus (PMVPACAP) project to, and make direct contact with, kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate and AVPV/PeN nuclei and a subset of these neurons respond to PACAP exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypothalamic protein kinase C regulates glucose production.
Rachel A. Ross,Penny Y. T. Wang,Madhu Chari,Madhu Chari,Carol K.L. Lam,Carol K.L. Lam,Liora Caspi,Hiraku Ono,Evan D. Muse,Xiaosong Li,Roger Gutierrez-Juarez,Peter E. Light,Gary J. Schwartz,Luciano Rossetti,Tony K.T. Lam,Tony K.T. Lam +15 more
TL;DR: These studies indicate that hypothalamic PKC activation is sufficient and necessary for lowering glucose production and eliminated the ability of lipids to lower glucose production.
