Expert Rev Endocrinol Metab. 2013;8(2):123-125. Novel studies involving other regulatory mechanisms were also presented. Prolactin-releasing peptide in the dorsomedial hypothalamic nuclei is an ...

BATON ROUGE – Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. Featured in the ...

A new study identifies, in mice, a critical communication pathway connecting the brain and the body's fat tissue in a feedback loop that appears central to energy production throughout the body. The ...

The brain is the body’s control center, with billions of neurons branching out in every direction to carry instructions to distant organs. These instructions tell muscles to contract, prompt the ...

Slowing down the dreaded aging process is something that everybody’s interested in, and now scientists have uncovered a new pathway to doing so. The team identified a feedback loop in the brain, and ...

A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has reported that a group of neurons, called EP3 neurons, in the preoptic area of the brain play a key role in regulating body temperature in mammals.

Maintaining a stable body temperature is essential for survival. Animals, including humans, use both autonomic processes -- such as shivering or activating brown fat -- and behaviors -- such as ...
