Diencephalon: Hypothalamus and Coordination

3.5K
The hypothalamus is a small yet highly complex and essential brain region that plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions. Anatomically, it is located at the base of the brain, just above the brainstem and below the thalamus, forming part of the limbic system.
The hypothalamus interacts with other brain regions, including the pituitary gland, through a direct physical connection called the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. The hypothalamus receives somatic and visceral inputs and...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • The paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH) is crucial for regulating appetite, social behavior, autonomic functions, and hormone secretion.
  • Understanding specific PVH neuron populations and their molecular markers is essential for deciphering homeostatic control.
  • A comprehensive catalog of PVH cell types and their projections is currently lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a high-resolution spatial and circuit-based gene expression atlas of the paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH).
  • To identify and characterize novel PVH neuron subtypes and their molecular profiles.
  • To map the projections of PVH neuron populations to specific brain regions like the parabrachial nucleus (PB) and spinal cord.

Main Methods:

  • Single-cell/nucleus RNA sequencing was employed to catalog PVH neuron subtypes.
  • Multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH) was used for spatial mapping of these neurons.
  • Projection-based profiling identified specific neuronal connections.

Main Results:

  • The study resolved 26 Sim1+ and 29 GABAergic neuron populations within the PVH and surrounding areas.
  • Distinct transcriptional programs were identified between neuroendocrine and centrally-projecting PVH neurons.
  • PB-projecting PVH neurons expressing bombesin-like receptor 3 (Brs3) were found to regulate food intake, with their activation reducing appetite and silencing leading to obesity.

Conclusions:

  • The developed atlas provides a valuable resource with detailed spatial and circuit-based gene expression profiles of the PVH.
  • This research identifies specific PVH neuron populations involved in regulating satiety and sympathetic nervous system activity.
  • The findings offer new molecular targets for understanding and potentially treating disorders related to appetite and metabolism.
