Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of a circadian adrenal corticosterone rhythm following suprachiasmatic lesions in the rat.
TL;DR: The purpose of the present study was to reinvestigate the role of the central retinal projections in neuroendocrine regulation and find that lesions in the suprachiasmatic region of the hypothalamus abolish the constant estrous response to light in the female rat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced number of hypocretin neurons in human narcolepsy.
Thomas C. Thannickal,Robert Y. Moore,Robert Nienhuis,Lalini Ramanathan,Seema Gulyani,Michael S. Aldrich,Marsha Cornford,Jerome M. Siegel +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that human narcoleptics have an 85%-95% reduction in the number of Hcrt neurons, and the presence of gliosis in the hypocretin cell region is consistent with a degenerative process being the cause of the HcrT cell loss in narcoLEpsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A retinohypothalamic projection in the rat
Robert Y. Moore,Nicholas J. Lenn +1 more
TL;DR: The retinohypothalamic tract in the rat appears to arise from the ganglion cells of the retina and to terminate on the smaller dendritic branches of the neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catecholamine innervation of the basal forebrain. IV. Topography of the dopamine projection to the basal forebrain and neostriatum.
James H. Fallon,Robert Y. Moore +1 more
TL;DR: The topography of the DA neuron projection on the basal forebrain and neostriatum is organized in three planes, dorsal‐ventral, medial‐lateral and anterior‐posterior, consistent with the view that the DA neurons of the SN‐VTA complex form a single nuclear group with a highly topographically organized projection innervating not only deep nuclei of the telencephalon but allocortical structures as well.
