Hypothalamic stimulation enhances hippocampal BDNF plasticity in proportion to metabolic rate

Hypothalamic stimulation enhances hippocampal BDNF plasticity in proportion to metabolic rate

Background: Energy metabolism is emerging as a driving force for cellular events underlying cognitive processing. The hypothalamus integrates metabolic signals with the function of centers related to cognitive processing such as the hippocampus. Objective/hypothesis: Hypothalamic activity can influe...
