Han S, Morris P, Kim J, Guru S, Pardo-Navarro M, Yeo S, et al.
Cell Rep . 2023 Jan; 42(1):111914. PMID: 36640343
The mechanism by which arcuate nucleus kisspeptin (ARN) neurons co-expressing glutamate, neurokinin B, and dynorphin intermittently synchronize their activity to generate pulsatile hormone secretion remains unknown. An acute brain slice...

McQuillan H, Clarkson J, Kauff A, Han S, Yip S, Cheong I, et al.
Nat Commun . 2022 Dec; 13(1):7433. PMID: 36460649
The mechanisms underlying the homeostatic estrogen negative feedback pathway central to mammalian fertility have remained unresolved. Direct measurement of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator activity in freely behaving mice with...

Liu X, Yeo S, McQuillan H, Herde M, Hessler S, Cheong I, et al.
Elife . 2021 Jan; 10. PMID: 33464205
The necessity and functional significance of neurotransmitter co-transmission remains unclear. The glutamatergic 'KNDy' neurons co-express kisspeptin, neurokinin B (NKB), and dynorphin and exhibit a highly stereotyped synchronized behavior that reads...

McQuillan H, Han S, Cheong I, Herbison A
Endocrinology . 2019 May; 160(6):1480-1491. PMID: 31083714
A subpopulation of kisspeptin neurons located in the arcuate nucleus (ARN) operate as the GnRH pulse generator. The activity of this population of neurons can be monitored in real-time for...

McQuillan H, Nakagawa S, Mercer A
PLoS One . 2014 Nov; 9(11):e112740. PMID: 25390885
Previous studies have shown that exposing young worker bees (Apis mellifera) to queen mandibular pheromone (QMP) reduces their aversive learning performance, while enhancing their attraction to QMP. As QMP has...

Geddes L, McQuillan H, Aiken A, Vergoz V, Mercer A
Learn Mem . 2013 Jul; 20(8):399-409. PMID: 23858051
Here, we examine effects of the steroid hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-E), on associative olfactory learning in the honeybee, Apis mellifera. 20-E impaired the bees' ability to associate odors with punishment during...

McQuillan H, Nakagawa S, Mercer A
Learn Mem . 2012 Mar; 19(4):151-8. PMID: 22411422
Dopamine and octopamine released in the mushroom bodies of the insect brain play a critical role in the formation of aversive and appetitive memories, respectively. As recent evidence suggests a...

Divers S, McQuillan H, Matsubara H, Todo T, Lokman P
J Lipid Res . 2010 Aug; 51(11):3250-8. PMID: 20713648
To understand the dynamics of lipid uptake into the ovary and the potential role that lipoprotein lipase plays in this event, changes in LPL transcript abundance during oogenesis were measured...

Vergoz V, McQuillan H, Geddes L, Pullar K, Nicholson B, Paulin M, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2009 Nov; 106(49):20930-5. PMID: 19934051
It is generally accepted that young worker bees (Apis mellifera L.) are highly attracted to queen mandibular pheromone (QMP). Our results challenge this widely held view. We have found that...

Fleming J, McQuillan H, Millier M, Sellar G
Reproduction . 2009 Jan; 137(4):721-6. PMID: 19176311
Opioid binding protein/cell adhesion molecule-like gene (OPCML) is frequently inactivated in epithelial ovarian cancer, but the role of this membrane protein in normal reproductive function is unclear. The ovarian surface...
