One area of investigation has been the role of the G protein-coupled lactate receptor GPR81 in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMN), a key region involved in glucose regulation. Research ...

These project from the arcuate nucleus to other key hypothalamic nuclei, such as the paraventricular, dorsomedial, ventromedial and lateral hypothalamic nuclei. There are also projections to and ...

to ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). They used optical stimulation to activate corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons ...

For instance, cold-sensitive neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) have been shown to play a significant role in homeostatic thermogenesis. Activation of these neurons increases BAT ...

Hyperphagia and anorexia are reported in lesions (mostly tumours) involving the ventromedial hypothalamus. 1 Moreover, eating disorders also occur in temporal lobe tumours, temporal lobe epilepsy, and ...

Abstract: Converging evidence suggests that emotion processing mediated by ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is necessary to prevent personal moral violations. In moral dilemmas, for example, ...

Specific hypothalamic nuclei, including the dorsomedial nucleus (DMN), paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and ventromedial nucleus (VMN), serve as control centers for appetite. In animals, lateral ...

Following glucose administration, there was a significant delay in activation at the hypothalamus and other brain regions associated with satiety compared with previous data on obese volunteers. These ...
