Mouse spontaneous behavior reflects individual variation rather than estrous state

Current Biology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 33(7), С. 1358 - 1364.e4

Behavior is shaped by both the internal state of an animal and its individual behavioral biases. Rhythmic variation in gonadal hormones during estrous cycle a defining feature female state, one that regulates many aspects sociosexual behavior. However, it remains unclear whether influences spontaneous behavior and, if so, how these effects might relate to variation. Here, we address this question longitudinally characterizing open-field mice across different phases cycle, using unsupervised machine learning decompose into constituent elements.

The neural circuitry of social homeostasis: Consequences of acute versus chronic social isolation

Cell, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 184(6), С. 1500 - 1516

Social homeostasis is the ability of individuals to detect quantity and quality social contact, compare it an established set-point in a command center, adjust effort expended seek optimal contact expressed via effector system. becomes positive or negative valence stimulus when deficient excess, respectively. Chronic deficits lead adaptations such that reintroduction previous optimum experienced as surplus. Here, we build upon models for include lasting changes environmental conditions, with chronic isolation.

The physiological control of eating: signals, neurons, and networks

Physiological Reviews, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 102(2), С. 689 - 813

During the past 30 yr, investigating physiology of eating behaviors has generated a truly vast literature. This is fueled in part by dramatic increase obesity and its comorbidities that coincided with an ever increasing sophistication genetically based manipulations. These techniques have produced results remarkable degree cell specificity, particularly at signaling level, played lead role advancing field. However, putting these findings into brain-wide context connects physiological signals neurons to behavior somatic requires thorough consideration neuronal connections: field also seen extraordinary technological revolution. Our goal present comprehensive balanced assessment how associated energy homeostasis interact many brain levels control behaviors. A major theme engage sets interacting neural networks throughout are defined specific connections. We begin discussing some fundamental concepts, including ones still engender vigorous debate, provide necessary frameworks for understanding controls meal initiation termination. include key word definitions, ATP availability as pivotal regulated variable homeostasis, neuropeptide signaling, homeostatic hedonic eating, structure.

Abstract The modernization in automobile industries has been booming recent times, which led to the development of lightweight and fuel-efficient design different components. Furthermore, metaheuristic algorithms play a significant role obtaining superior optimized designs for vehicle Hence, hunger game search (HGS) algorithm is applied optimize suspension arm (SA) by reduction mass vis-à-vis volume. performance HGS was accomplished comparing achieved results with well-established metaheuristics (MHs), such as salp swarm optimizer, equilibrium Harris Hawks optimizer (HHO), chaotic HHO, slime mould marine predator artificial bee colony ant lion it found that able pursue best solution subjecting critical constraints. Moreover, can realize least weight SA subjected maximum stress values. adopted be robust terms global optimum solution.

Reciprocal activity of AgRP and POMC neurons governs coordinated control of feeding and metabolism

Nature Metabolism, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 6(3), С. 473 - 493

Abstract Agouti-related peptide (AgRP)-expressing and proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-expressing neurons reciprocally regulate food intake. Here, we combine non-interacting recombinases to simultaneously express functionally opposing chemogenetic receptors in AgRP POMC for comparing metabolic responses male female mice with simultaneous activation of inhibition isolated or neurons. We show that intake is regulated by the additive effect neuron inhibition, while systemic insulin sensitivity gluconeogenesis are differentially modulated isolated-versus-simultaneous regulation identify a neurocircuit engaging Npy1R-expressing paraventricular nucleus hypothalamus, where activated inhibited cooperate promote consumption activate Th + tractus solitarii. Collectively, these results unveil how precisely bidirectional interplay between neurocircuits.

AgRP Neurons Can Increase Food Intake during Conditions of Appetite Suppression and Inhibit Anorexigenic Parabrachial Neurons

Journal of Neuroscience, Год журнала: 2017, Номер 37(36), С. 8678 - 8687

Опубликована: Авг. 7, 2017

To maintain energy homeostasis, orexigenic (appetite-inducing) and anorexigenic (appetite suppressing) brain systems functionally interact to regulate food intake. Within the hypothalamus, neurons that express agouti-related protein (AgRP) sense factors orchestrate an increase in food-seeking behavior. In contrast, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-expressing parabrachial nucleus (PBN) suppress feeding. PBN CGRP become active response hormones released following a meal, including amylin, secreted by pancreas, cholecystokinin (CCK), small intestine. Additionally, exogenous compounds, such as lithium chloride (LiCl), salt creates gastric discomfort, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), bacterial cell wall component induces inflammation, exert appetite-suppressing effects activate neurons. The of increasing homeostatic drive eat on feeding behavior during appetite suppressing conditions are unknown. Here, we show mice deprivation or optogenetic activation AgRP overcome CCK, LiCl, but not LPS. neuron photostimulation can also chemogenetic-mediated stimulation reduces Fos expression across all conditions. Finally, projections from increases administration These results demonstrate sufficient noninflammatory-based suppression decrease activity neurons, thereby intake need.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT motivation depends relative balance distinct regions induce appetite.
