Abstract
The hypothalamus is part of the diencephalon and has several nuclei, one of which is the arcuate nucleus. The arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus (ARH) consists of neuroendocrine neurons and centrally-projecting neurons. The ARH is the center where the homeostasis of nutrition/metabolism and reproduction are maintained. As such, dysfunction of the ARH can lead to disorders of nutrition/metabolism and reproduction. Here, we review various types of neurons in the ARH and several genetic disorders caused by mutations in the ARH.
期刊介绍：
Experimental Neurobiology is an international forum for interdisciplinary investigations of the nervous system. The journal aims to publish papers that present novel observations in all fields of neuroscience, encompassing cellular & molecular neuroscience, development/differentiation/plasticity, neurobiology of disease, systems/cognitive/behavioral neuroscience, drug development & industrial application, brain-machine interface, methodologies/tools, and clinical neuroscience. It should be of interest to a broad scientific audience working on the biochemical, molecular biological, cell biological, pharmacological, physiological, psychophysical, clinical, anatomical, cognitive, and biotechnological aspects of neuroscience. The journal publishes both original research articles and review articles. Experimental Neurobiology is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal. The journal is published jointly by The Korean Society for Brain and Neural Sciences & The Korean Society for Neurodegenerative Disease.
