Kubasik-Juraniec1, N. Knap2 1Department of Electron Microscopy, Medical University of Gdańsk, Poland 2Department of Medical Chemistry, Medical University of Gdańsk, Poland [Received 8 May 2009; Accepted 17 July 2009] In the present study, we described ultrastructural changes occurring in the neurons of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus after food deprivation. Young male Wistar rats (5 months old, n = 12) were divided into three groups. The animals in Group I were used as control (normally fed), and the rats in Groups II and III were fasted for 48 hours and 96 hours, respectively. In both treated groups, fasting caused rearrangement of the rough endoplasmic reticulum form- ing lamellar bodies and membranous whorls. The lamellar bodies were rather short in the controls, whereas in the fasting animals they became longer and were sometimes participating in the formation of membranous whorls com- posed of the concentric layers of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The whorls were often placed in the vicinity of a very well developed Golgi complex. Some Golgi complexes displayed an early stage of whorl formation. Moreover, an increased serum level of 8-isoprostanes, being a reliable marker of total oxida- tive stress in the body, was observed in both fasting groups of rats as com- pared to the control.

  • Functional Heterogeneity in the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis
    8038 • The Journal of Neuroscience, August 3, 2016 • 36(31):8038–8049 Dual Perspectives Dual Perspectives Companion Paper: Contributions of the Central Extended Amygdala to Fear and Anxiety, by Alexander J. Shackman and Andrew S. Fox Functional Heterogeneity in the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis Nur Zeynep Gungor and Denis Pare´ Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience, Rutgers State University, Newark, New Jersey 07102 Early work stressed the differing involvement of the central amygdala (CeA) and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) in the genesis of fear versus anxiety, respectively. In 2009, Walker, Miles, and Davis proposed a model of amygdala-BNST interactions to explain these functional differences. This model became extremely influential and now guides a new wave of studies on the role of BNST in humans. Here, we consider evidence for and against this model, in the process highlighting central principles of BNST organization. This analysis leads us to conclude that BNST’s influence is not limited to the generation of anxiety-like responses to diffuse threats, but that it also shapes the impact of discrete threatening stimuli. It is likely that BNST-CeA interactions are involved in modulating responses to such threats. In addition, whereas current views emphasize the contributions of the anterolateral BNST region in anxiety, accumulating data indicate that the anteromedial and anteroventral regions also play a critical role. The presence of multiple functional subregions within the small volume of BNST raises significant technical obstacles for functional imaging studies in humans.

  • Hypothalamus - Wikipedia
    Hypothalamus - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamus The hypothalamus is a portion of the brain that contains a number of Hypothalamus small nuclei with a variety of functions. One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus is located below the thalamus and is part of the limbic system.[1] In the terminology of neuroanatomy, it forms the ventral part of the diencephalon. All vertebrate brains contain a hypothalamus. In humans, it is the size of an almond. The hypothalamus is responsible for the regulation of certain metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic nervous system. It synthesizes and secretes certain neurohormones, called releasing hormones or hypothalamic hormones, Location of the human hypothalamus and these in turn stimulate or inhibit the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus controls body temperature, hunger, important aspects of parenting and attachment behaviours, thirst,[2] fatigue, sleep, and circadian rhythms. The hypothalamus derives its name from Greek ὑπό, under and θάλαμος, chamber.

REIS Laboratory of Neurobiology, Cornell University Medical College, New York, New York 10021 Received May 3, 1982; Revised August 23, 1982; Accepted October 8, 1982 Abstract Mice of the BALB/cJ strain have more neurons and greater tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity in the midbrain than mice of the CBA/J strain (Baker, H., T. H. Joh, and D. J. Reis (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 77: 4369-4373). To determine whether the strain differences in dopamine (DA) neuron number and regional TH activity are more generalized, regional TH activity was measured and counts of neurons containing the enzyme were made in the hypothalamus of male mice of the BALB/cJ and CBA/J strains. TH activity was measured in dissections of whole hypothalamus (excluding the preoptic area), the preoptic area containing a rostral extension of the Al4 group, the mediobasal hypothalamus containing the A12 group, and the mediodorsal hypothal- amus containing neurons of the Al3 and Al4 groups. Serial sections were taken and the number of DA neurons was established by counting at 50- to 60-pm intervals all cells stained for TH through each area. In conjunction with data obtained biochemically, the average amount of TH per neuron was determined.

  • Memory Loss from a Subcortical White Matter Infarct

Downloaded from Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry 1988;51:866-869 Short report Memory loss from a subcortical white matter infarct CAROL A KOOISTRA, KENNETH M HEILMAN From the Department ofNeurology, College ofMedicine, University ofFlorida, and the Research Service, Veterans Administration Medical Center, Gainesville, FL, USA SUMMARY Clinical disorders of memory are believed to occur from the dysfunction of either the mesial temporal lobe, the mesial thalamus, or the basal forebrain. Fibre tract damage at the level of the fornix has only inconsistently produced amnesia. A patient is reported who suffered a cerebro- vascular accident involving the posterior limb of the left internal capsule that resulted in a persistent and severe disorder of verbal memory. The inferior extent of the lesion effectively disconnected the mesial thalamus from the amygdala and the frontal cortex by disrupting the ventral amygdalofugal and thalamic-frontal pathways as they course through the diencephalon. This case demonstrates that an isolated lesion may cause memory loss without involvement of traditional structures associated with memory and may explain memory disturbances in other white matter disease such as multiple sclerosis and lacunar state.
