Abstract:

The hypothalamus acts as a regulatory center for instinctive behaviors such as sleep and metabolism. Advances in modern neuroscience technology have improved our understanding of the systems and mechanisms that underlie these behaviors.

Most hypothalamic neurons contain and release peptides and hormones, functioning as endocrine systems. Our research has focused on orexin peptide and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH). Orexin promotes wakefulness and increases energy expenditure, while MCH induces REM sleep and conserves energy. In this presentation, I will discuss current studies on MCH and orexin neuronal systems, including their regulatory interactions.
