Convincing evidence has repeatedly shown that new neurons are produced in the
mammalian brain into adulthood. Adult neurogenesis has been best described in the …

Background The early life environment experienced by an individual in utero and during the
neonatal period is a major factor in sha** later life disease risk-including susceptibility to …

The fertility and survival of an individual rely on the ability of the periphery to promptly,
effectively, and reproducibly communicate with brain neural networks that control …

Communication between the periphery and the brain is key for maintaining energy
homeostasis. To do so, peripheral signals from the circulation reach the brain via the …

Over the past two decades, evidence has accumulated that neurogenesis can occur in both
the juvenile and adult mammalian hypothalamus. Levels of hypothalamic neurogenesis can …

Cell proliferation and neuroinflammation in the adult hypothalamus may contribute to the
pathogenesis of obesity. We tested whether the intertwining of these two processes plays a …

The presence of neural stem cells (NSCs) and the production of new neurons in the adult
brain have received great attention from scientists and the public because of implications to …

Tanycytes are radial glial cells located in the mediobasal hypothalamus. Recent studies
have proposed that tanycytes play an important role in hypothalamic control of energy …

In the mammalian brain, neurogenesis is maintained throughout adulthood primarily in two
typical niches, the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus and the subventricular zone …

The current worldwide obesity pandemic highlights a need to better understand the
regulation of energy balance and metabolism, including the role of the nervous system in …
