Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

Researchers from the lab of Richard Simerly have uncovered the first example of activity-dependent development of hypothalamic neural circuitry. The work also suggests a novel role for the hunger ...

Axons from AgRP neurons, in red, innervate oxytocin neurons, in green, in the PVH. Neuronal activity of AgRP neurons is required for normal targeting of their axons to oxytocin neurons, as well as for ...
