    Description: The ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus (VMN) are important for the control of feminine mating behavior, and hormone action within these nuclei has been causally related to behavior. Estradiol induces receptors for oxytocin in the VMN and in the area lateral to these nuclei over the course of 1 to 2 days, and progesterone causes, within 30 minutes of its application, a further increase in receptor binding and an expansion of the area covered by these receptors lateral to the VMN. The rapid progesterone effect appears to be a direct and specific effect of this steroid on the receptor or membrane, because it was produced in vitro as well as in vivo and was not mimicked by a variety of other steroids. The effect of progesterone occurred in the posterior part of the VMN, where oxytocin infusion facilitated feminine mating behavior; it did not take place in the anterior part of the VMN, where oxytocin infusion had no effect on mating behavior.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schumacher, M -- Coirini, H -- Pfaff, D W -- McEwen, B S -- HD-05751/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- NS-07080/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- TWO4103/TW/FIC NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Nov 2;250(4981):691-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology, Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2173139" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A common single-nucleotide polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene, a methionine (Met) substitution for valine (Val) at codon 66 (Val66Met), is associated with alterations in brain anatomy and memory, but its relevance to clinical disorders is unclear. We generated a variant BDNF mouse (BDNF(Met/Met)) that reproduces the phenotypic hallmarks in humans with the variant allele. BDNF(Met) was expressed in brain at normal levels, but its secretion from neurons was defective. When placed in stressful settings, BDNF(Met/Met) mice exhibited increased anxiety-related behaviors that were not normalized by the antidepressant, fluoxetine. A variant BDNF may thus play a key role in genetic predispositions to anxiety and depressive disorders.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1880880/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1880880/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Zhe-Yu -- Jing, Deqiang -- Bath, Kevin G -- Ieraci, Alessandro -- Khan, Tanvir -- Siao, Chia-Jen -- Herrera, Daniel G -- Toth, Miklos -- Yang, Chingwen -- McEwen, Bruce S -- Hempstead, Barbara L -- Lee, Francis S -- MH060478/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH068850/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- NS052819/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- NS30687/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS052819/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Oct 6;314(5796):140-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Psychiatry, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, NY 10021, USA. zheyuchen@sdu.edu.cn〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17023662" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Neurons sensitive to gonadal steroids are located strategically within neural circuits that mediate behaviors broadly related to the reproductive process. Some neuronal events and properties are regulated by these hormones. Variability in the occurrence and distribution of particular neural hormonal sensitivities across species may be related to variations in the hormonal requirements for sexual differentiation and for activation of reproductive behaviors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McEwen, B S -- NS07080/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Mar 20;211(4488):1303-11.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6259728" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Estrogens and progestins alter electrical and chemical features of nerve cells, particularly in hypothalamus. Temporally, these events follow nuclear receptor occupation by these steroids, although not all effects have been proved to depend on translocation of receptors to the nucleus. Narrowing studies to focus on particular medial hypothalamic cells has been useful for understanding some of the actions of these steroids in brain. The variety of morphological, chemical, and electrical effects allow for a multiplicity in the cellular functions controlled by these hormones.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pfaff, D W -- McEwen, B S -- HD05751/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- NS07080/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Feb 18;219(4586):808-14.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6297008" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Male and female rats exhibit sex differences in binding by serotonin 1 receptors in discrete areas of the brain, some of which have been implicated in the control of ovulation and of gonadotropin release. The sex-specific changes in binding, which occur in response to the same hormonal (estrogenic) stimulus, are due to changes in the number of binding sites. Castration alone also affects the number of binding sites in certain areas. The results lead to the conclusion that peripheral hormones modulate binding by serotonin 1 receptors. The status of the serotonin receptor system may affect the reproductive capacity of an organism and may be related to sex-linked emotional disturbances in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fischette, C T -- Biegon, A -- McEwen, B S -- AM06122/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- NS06080/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Oct 21;222(4621):333-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6623080" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
