Precise timing in hormone release from the hypothalamus, the pituitary and ovary is critical
for fertility. Hormonal release patterns of the reproductive axis are regulated by a feedback …

Over the past two decades, it has become clear just how much of our physiology is under the
control of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the cell-intrinsic molecular clock that ticks …

The Fourth Edition of Knobil & Neill continues to serve as a reference aid for research, to
provide the historical context to current research, and most importantly as an aid for …

The novel neuropeptide spexin (SPX) was discovered using bioinformatics. The function of
this peptide is currently under investigation. Here, we identified SPX along with a second …

A sparse population of a few hundred primarily hypothalamic neurons forms the hub of a
complex neuroglial network that controls reproduction in mammals by secreting the'master …

Declining female fertility has become a global health concern. It results partially from an
abnormal circadian clock caused by unhealthy diet and sleep habits in modern life. The …

Synchronization of mammalian breeding activity to the annual change of photoperiod and
environmental conditions is of the utmost importance for individual survival and species …

The endocrine hypothalamus constitutes those cells which project to the median eminence
and secrete neurohormones into the hypophysial portal blood to act on cells of the anterior …

Reproduction, like many other biological functions, exhibits marked daily and seasonal
rhythms in order to anticipate and adapt breeding activity to environmental challenges. In …

In humans, the first 1000 days of life are pivotal for brain and organism development. Shortly
after birth, gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in the hypothalamus are …
