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 ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists studied the effects of stimulating the PVN, discovering its connection to the lateral hypothalamus (LH), which regulates hunger and wakefulness. “Activating CRHPVN neurons impairs ...

The hypothalamus via various mechanisms controls appetite and food intake. ... (VMN), dorsomedial nucleus (DMN), paraventricular nucleus (PVN), and lateral hypothalamus (LH).

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, ...

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.

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 ...

Scientists have identified neurons in the lateral hypothalamus that can be targeted through deep brain stimulation to improve walking after spinal cord injury (SCI). This innovative approach shows ...
