The paper maps kisspeptin (KP) fiber distribution and Kiss1r expression in rat and mouse brains, showing their involvement in sensorial processing and behavioral state control beyond reproductive functions.

The paper identifies seven distinct kisspeptin neuronal chemotypes in the mouse brain and shows gonadectomy alters their expression patterns.

The paper reports morphological evidence of low-rate neurogenesis and migration in the adult rat AVPMNS using immunohistochemical markers.

The paper identifies a neural circuit involving the NLOT that links the SON-AVP system to neocortical regions, promoting social behavior under osmotic stress.

The paper shows that vasopressin increases PSD95 and GluA1 expression in limbic regions, enhancing synaptic strength, while having no effect in non-target regions.

The paper examines ACE2 expression in rat brain tissues, identifying its presence in astrocytes, pericytes, endothelial cells, and specific neuronal populations, suggesting potential neurological impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

This study shows that early life stress alters microglial synaptic pruning of axon initial segments in rats, with stronger effects in females, leading to increased fear responses in adulthood.
