These receptors concentrate in two key areas: the arcuate nucleus and preoptic area. These regions serve as control centers for reproductive hormone release. When cytokines bind to these receptors, ...

The posterior paraventricular thalamus (pPVT) is a hub for emotional processing and receives inputs from the hypothalamic preoptic area (POA), the well-recognized thermoregulation center. The present ...

Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of the hypothalamic preoptic area of monogamous and promiscuous deer mouse species reveals neuronal differences that may be responsible for innate changes in mating and ...

Viral tracing studies in rodents have also shown that ipRGCs innervate other regions of the brain, such as the supraoptic nucleus and the preoptic area of the hypothalamus, which mediate brain ...
