Dendritic secretion of peptides from hypothalamic magnocellular neurosecretory neurones: a local dynamic control system and its functions.
TL;DR: An overall picture emerges of magnocellular dendrites as active secretory and synthetic components of the neurosecretory neurones.

Presynaptic actions of endocannabinoids mediate α-MSH-induced inhibition of oxytocin cells
Nancy Sabatier,Gareth Leng +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that central injections of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) inhibits oxytocin cells and reduces peripheral release of Oxytocin, but induces oxytocIn release from dendrite...

Involvement of Prolactin‐Releasing Peptide in the Activation of Oxytocin Neurones in Response to Food Intake
TL;DR: It is suggested that PrRP mediates, at least in part, the activation of oxytocin neurones in response to food intake, and that the CCK–PrRP–oxytocin pathway plays an important role in the control of the termination of each meal.

NMDA receptors induce somatodendritic secretion in hypothalamic neurones of lactating female rats

TL;DR: It is shown that calcium influx through NMDA receptor (NMDAR) channels, in the absence of postsynaptic cell firing, is also able to induce vesicle fusion from non‐synaptic sites in nucleated outside‐out patches of dorsomedial supraoptic nucleus (SON) neurones of adult female rats, in particular during their reproductive stages.

Hypothalamic–Pituitary Function in Brain Death: A Review
TL;DR: Evidence is found suggesting the preservation of hypothalamic function, including secretion of hypophysiotropic hormones, responsiveness to anterior pituitary stimulation, and osmoregulation, in a substantial proportion of patients declared dead by neurological criteria.

Expression of c-fos protein in brain: metabolic mapping at the cellular level
TL;DR: Fos immunohistochemistry provides a cellular method to label polysynaptically activated neurons and thereby map functional pathways in response to polysynaptic activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A potent and selective endogenous agonist for the mu-opiate receptor.
TL;DR: The discovery and isolation from brain of a peptide, endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2), which has the highest specificity and affinity for the µ receptor of any endogenous substance so far described and they maybe natural ligands for this receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The organization of noradrenergic pathways from the brainstem to the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei in the rat
TL;DR: The autoradiographic material, and additional double-labeling experiments, were used to identify and to characterize projections that interconnect the A1, A2 and A6 regions, as well as possible projections from these cell groups to the spinal cord.

TL;DR: The extremely high concentrations and widespread distribution of neuropeptide Y in the central nervous system suggests a number of important physiological roles for this neurotransmitter candidate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential co-existence of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivity with catecholamines in the central nervous system of the rat.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that central catecholamine neurons can be subdivided into distinct sub-groups based upon the coexistence of a specific peptide.
