Gentle touch contributes to affiliative interactions. We investigated the effects of gentle stroking in female rats on the development of affiliative behaviors toward humans and we exploratively examined brain regions in which activity was influen...
Multiple sequential actions, performed during parental behaviors, are essential elements of reproduction in mammalian species. We showed that neurons expressing melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) are more ac...
During a stress response, various neuropeptides are secreted in a spatiotemporally coordinated way in the brain. For a precise understanding of peptide functions in a stress response, it is important to investigate when and where they are released...
Inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), statins, which are used to prevent cardiovascular diseases, are associated with a modest increase in the risk of new-onset diabetes. To investigate the role of HMGCR in the developmen...
We generated a transgenic rat line that expresses oxytocin (OXT)-monomeric red fluorescent protein 1 (mRFP1) fusion gene to visualize the dynamics of OXT. In this transgenic rat line, hypothalamic OXT can be assessed under diverse physiological an...
