The inferior colliculus (IC) is a critical integration center in the auditory pathway. However, because inputs to IC have typically been studied by use of conventional anterograde and retrograde tracers, neuronal organization cell-type-specific connections are poorly understood. Here, we used monosynaptic rabies tracing

Obesity has become a global issue, and the overconsumption of food is thought to be major contributor. However, regulatory neural circuits that regulate palatable consumption remain unclear. Here, we report somatostatin (SOM) neurons GABAergic (VGAT) in basal forebrain (BF) play specific roles regulating feeding. Optogenetic stimulation BF SOM increased fat sucrose intake within minutes promoted anxiety-like behaviors. Furthermore, optogenetic projections from lateral hypothalamic area (LHA)...

Resistance to stress is a key determinant for mammalian functioning. While many studies have revealed neural circuits and substrates responsible initiating mediating responses, little known about how the brain resists prevents overreactions. Here, we identified previously uncharacterized neuropeptide Y (NPY) neuronal population in dorsal raphe nucleus ventrolateral periaqueductal gray region (DRN/vlPAG) with anxiolytic effects male mice. NPYDRN/vlPAG neurons are rapidly activated by various...

Photovoltaic power generation is one of the ways using solar energy resources effectively. In recent years, it has received world's attention and been under rapid development. At present, main problems faced by photovoltaic low conversion efficiency. One way to solve this problem carrying out maximum point tracking in process. The paper focuses on implementation Conductance Increment Method, carries simulation results. Created cells model MATLAB, analysis are carried out.

Nucleus accumbens (NAc) plays an important role in emotion and motivation. NAc D1 neurons are widely accepted to be associated with reward, while the of D2 more evasive. traditionally aversion. However, some reports have attributed positive motivational roles them. Here, we combined optogenetics rabies-mediated transsynaptic tracing demonstrate anatomical functional heterogeneity shell (NAcSh) neurons. dorsomedial zone drive preference increase reward motivation ventral zones aversion...
