Conserved communication between the pars tuberalis and mediobasal hypothalamus in the Golden hamster and Svalbard ptarmigan: a genome enabled ligand-receptor pairing analysis

Many seasonal vertebrates rely on photoperiod to synchronise their seasonal physiology and behaviour with annual changes in the environment. In both mammals and birds, the pars tuberalis (PT) of the pituitary gland decodes photoperiodic information and regulates seasonal timing....

Continuous sampling of cerebrospinal fluid from the 3rd ventricle of the hypothalamus to identify accumulating or depleting metabolites during hibernation

Hibernation is a seasonally regulated process dramatically reducing metabolic rate and subsequently core body temperature (Tb). Many hibernators repeatedly cycle between torpor and arousal (T-A cycling) throughout the hibernation season. How these cycles are regulated is still un...
