Modulation of stress-related behaviour by preproglucagon neurons and hypothalamic projections to the nucleus of the solitary tract by Marie K. Holt, Natalia Valderrama, Maria J. Polanco, Imogen Hayter, Ellena G. Badenoch, Stefan Trapp, Linda Rinaman

“…Through chemogenetic manipulations we reveal that cNTS PPG neurons have the ability to moderately increase anxiety-like behaviours in mice in a sex-dependent manner. Using an intersectional approach, we show that input from the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) drives activation of both the cNTS as a whole and PPG neurons in particular in response to acute restraint stress, but that while this input is rich in corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), PPG neurons do not express significant levels of receptors for CRH and are not activated following lateral ventricle delivery of CRH. …”
