Efferent projections of topographically distinct relaxin family peptide receptor-3 (RXFP3) lateral hypothalamus/zona incerta cells

Brandon K Richards, Alexander IJ Kilby, Jennifer Louise Cornish, Jee Hyun Kim, Andrew John Lawrence, Christina J. Perry

The paper identifies distinct efferent projection patterns of RXFP3-expressing cells in the lateral hypothalamus and zona incerta based on their topographical location.

Neurochemical phenotype of relaxin family peptide receptor-3 (RXFP3) lateral hypothalamus/zona incerta cells

Brandon K Richards, Jennifer Louise Cornish, Jee Hyun Kim, Andrew John Lawrence, Christina J. Perry

This study characterizes the distribution and neurochemical phenotype of RXFP3-expressing neurons in the mouse lateral hypothalamus and zona incerta, revealing their co-expression with markers related to fear learning and defensive behavior.
