Sexual, parental, and aggressive behaviors are central to the reproductive success of
individuals and species survival and thus are supported by hardwired neural circuits. The …

The hypothalamus (“hypo” meaning below, and “thalamus” meaning bed) consists of
regulatory circuits that support basic life functions that ensure survival. Sitting at the interface …

Hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons regulate fertility and
integrate hormonal status with environmental cues to ensure reproductive success. Here we …

Sociosexual preference is critical for reproduction and survival. However, neural
mechanisms encoding social decisions on sex preference remain unclear. In this study, we …

In this mini-review, we summarize the brain distribution of aromatase, the enzyme catalyzing
the synthesis of estrogens from androgens, and the mechanisms responsible for regulating …

Romantic engagement can bias sensory perception. This 'love blindness' reflects a common
behavioural principle across organisms: favouring pursuit of a coveted reward over potential …

Dysregulation of brain homeostasis is associated with neuropsychiatric conditions such as
major depressive disorder. However, underlying neural-circuit mechanisms remain not well …

Listening to music is a promising and accessible intervention for alleviating symptoms of
major depressive disorder. However, the neural mechanisms underlying its antidepressant …

This review explores the evolving landscape of G‐protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR)‐based
genetically encoded fluorescent indicators (GEFIs), with a focus on their development …

Infertility is becoming a major public health problem, with increasing frequency due to
medical, environmental and societal causes. The increasingly late age of childbearing …
