This study identifies circadian rhythms in sexual behavior in mice and shows that mating during peak male circadian phase increases reproductive success.

The paper identifies arcuate nucleus Kiss1 neurons as regulators of energy expenditure through glutamatergic signaling to the dorsomedial hypothalamus in male mice.

This study examines hypothalamic changes in mice after ovariectomy, finding time-dependent neuroinflammation and gene expression patterns that mirror human age-related changes.

This study shows that MC4R in Kiss1 neurons regulates female fertility by modulating GnRH pulse generation and preovulatory LH surge through distinct signaling mechanisms.

This study shows that NKB signaling in the medial amygdala stimulates gonadotropin release in female mice independently of kisspeptin.

The paper shows that redundancy among tachykinins safeguards puberty and fertility in mice, with NKA compensating for NKB loss in females.

This study identifies PACAP-expressing neurons in the ventral premammillary nucleus that regulate reproductive function in female mice by modulating kisspeptin neurons.
