Mice are prey animals, and while they must be able to move around looking for food, it is just as important that they can get ...

Rutgers scientists have uncovered a tug-of-war inside the brain between hunger and satiety, revealing two newly mapped neural ...

The lateral hypothalamus' role in walking recovery. The identification of the LH as a key player in motor recovery after paralysis is in itself an important scientific discovery, ...

"This research highlights the unexpected role of the lateral hypothalamus, a brain region not previously associated with locomotion in humans," lead researcher Dr. Grégoire Courtine, professor of ...

The lateral hypothalamus (LH) or lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) is known as the ‘hunger center’ of the brain. One of its main functions is stimulating feeding behavior; when it’s stimulated ...

It was then time to try deep brain stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus in people paralyzed by spinal cord injury. Brain scans were used to guide and implant electrodes in the brains of two ...

Similar tests in the lateral hypothalamus also influenced particular social behaviors as a mouse under magnetic field influence became more friendly toward other, unknown mice.

The main hypothalamic nuclei, neuropeptides and pathways involved in the regulation of appetite. Circulating hormones act on the ARC, which has an incomplete blood-brain barrier and, hence, can ...
