Yadav A, Matson K, Li L, Hua I, Petrescu J, Kang K, et al.
Neuron . 2023 Feb; 111(3):328-344.e7. PMID: 36731429
The mammalian spinal cord functions as a community of cell types for sensory processing, autonomic control, and movement. While animal models have advanced our understanding of spinal cellular diversity, characterizing...

Huzard D, Martin M, Maingret F, Chemin J, Jeanneteau F, Mery P, et al.
Sci Adv . 2022 Jun; 8(26):eabo7566. PMID: 35767616
Affective touch is necessary for proper neurodevelopment and sociability. However, it remains unclear how the neurons innervating the skin detect affective and social behaviors. The C low-threshold mechanoreceptors (C-LTMRs), a...

Candelas M, Reynders A, Arango-Lievano M, Neumayer C, Fruquiere A, Demes E, et al.
Sci Rep . 2019 Mar; 9(1):3112. PMID: 30816223
The T-type calcium channel, Cav3.2, is necessary for acute pain perception, as well as mechanical and cold allodynia in mice. Being found throughout sensory pathways, from excitatory primary afferent neurons...

Osterstock G, Mitutsova V, Barre A, Granier M, Fontanaud P, Chazalon M, et al.
Sci Rep . 2016 Apr; 6:24394. PMID: 27072430
Hypothalamic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) neurons orchestrate body growth/maturation and have been implicated in feeding responses and ageing. However, the electrical patterns that dictate GHRH neuron functions have remained elusive....

Osterstock G, El Yandouzi T, Romano N, Carmignac D, Langlet F, Coutry N, et al.
Endocrinology . 2014 Mar; 155(5):1887-98. PMID: 24601879
Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of hypopituitarism, which compromises patients' recovery, quality of life, and life span. To date, there are no means other than standardized animal studies...

Lemoine D, Habermacher C, Martz A, Mery P, Bouquier N, Diverchy F, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2013 Dec; 110(51):20813-8. PMID: 24297890
The powerful optogenetic pharmacology method allows the optical control of neuronal activity by photoswitchable ligands tethered to channels and receptors. However, this approach is technically demanding, as it requires the...

Schaeffer M, Langlet F, Lafont C, Molino F, Hodson D, Roux T, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2013 Jan; 110(4):1512-7. PMID: 23297228
To maintain homeostasis, hypothalamic neurons in the arcuate nucleus must dynamically sense and integrate a multitude of peripheral signals. Blood-borne molecules must therefore be able to circumvent the tightly sealed...

Gouty-Colomer L, Mery P, Storme E, Gavois E, Robinson I, Guerineau N, et al.
Endocrinology . 2010 Oct; 151(12):5762-74. PMID: 20926590
Growth hormone (GH) is the key hormone involved in the regulation of growth and metabolism, two functions that are highly modulated during infancy. GH secretion, controlled mainly by GH releasing...

Osterstock G, Escobar P, Mitutsova V, Gouty-Colomer L, Fontanaud P, Molino F, et al.
PLoS One . 2010 Feb; 5(2):e9159. PMID: 20161791
Background: Ghrelin targets the arcuate nucleus, from where growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) neurones trigger GH secretion. This hypothalamic nucleus also contains neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons which play a master...

Alonso G, Sanchez-Hormigo A, Loudes C, El Yandouzi T, Carmignac D, Faivre-Bauman A, et al.
Aging Cell . 2007 Mar; 6(2):197-207. PMID: 17328688
Growth hormone (GH) secretion decreases spontaneously during lifespan, and the resulting GH deficiency participates in aging-related morbidity. This deficiency appears to involve a defect in the activity of hypothalamic GH-releasing...
