Morphological and electrophysiological classification of hypothalamic supraoptic neurons
TLDR
The firing patterns of activated OT and VP neurons often differ, but can transiently appear indistinguishable in vivo and especially in vitro, and classification in vitro without immunochemical labelling may be aided by the presence of phasic bursting and by the differential response of these neurons to certain neurochemicals or to stimulation of certain inputs.About:

Dendritic peptide release and peptide-dependent behaviours
Mike Ludwig,Gareth Leng +1 more
TL;DR: The recently demonstrated ability of neuropeptides to prime vesicle stores for activity-dependent release could lead to a temporary functional reorganization of neuronal networks harbouring specific peptide receptors, providing a substrate for long-lasting effects.

Neuroendocrine Control of Body Fluid Metabolism
José Antunes-Rodrigues,Margaret de Castro,Lucila Leico Kagohara Elias,Marcelo Moraes Valença,Samuel M. McCann +4 more
TL;DR: The role played by brain ANP and its interaction with neurohypophysial hormones in the control of body fluid homeostasis is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Function-related plasticity in hypothalamus
TL;DR: Physiological activation of the mag nocellular hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system induces a coordinated astrocytic withdrawal from between the magnocellular somata and the parallel-projecting dendrites of the supraoptic nucleus, which results in interneuronal coupling increases that are capable of being modulated synaptically via second messenger-dependent mechanisms.

Gene regulation in the magnocellular hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system.
TL;DR: This review is an inventory of what the authors know about genes expressed in the HNS, about the regulation of their expression in response to physiological stimuli, and about their function.

Physiological Pathways Regulating the Activity of Magnocellular Neurosecretory Cells
TL;DR: This review considers the rôle played by particular afferent pathways in the regulation of the activity of oxytocin and vasopressin cells.

Immunohistochemical identification of neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus that project to the medulla or to the spinal cord in the rat
TL;DR: The results indicate that both oxytocin‐ and vasopressin‐stained cells in the PVH project to the spinal cord and to the dorsal vagal complex, although about three times as many oxytocinstained cells were doubly labeled after injections centered in either terminal field, suggesting that additional neuroactive substances are contained within these pathways.
