Hypothalamic Cell Type Evolution across Vertebrates

This study identifies conserved and clade-specific hypothalamic cell types across vertebrates using single-cell transcriptomics, revealing conserved transcription factors and rewired regulatory linkages.

Tracking gonadotropin-releasing hormone-mediated movement in-vivo using quantum dot nanoparticles: insights into pathways leading to sperm release

This study tracks GnRHa dispersal in toads using quantum dot nanoparticles to assess how delivery routes affect hormone efficacy and pathways leading to sperm release.

Aggressive but not reproductive boldness in male green anole lizards correlates with baseline vasopressin activity

The paper investigates the relationship between baseline vasopressin activity and boldness in male green anole lizards, finding an inverse correlation with aggressive but not reproductive behaviors.

Corticotropin-releasing factor distribution in the brain of the brown anole lizard

This study maps CRF cell and fiber distributions in the brown anole lizard brain, finding similarities with snakes, turtles, and mammals/birds, but also some unique features.

Social boldness correlates with brain gene expression in male green anoles

The paper identifies gene expression differences in the ventromedial hypothalamus between bold and shy male green anoles, linking them to social behavior predisposition.
