GALP neurons send outputs to orexin- or melanin-concentrating hormone-
(MCH) containing neurons in the lateral hypothalamus (LH) and receive inputs
from orexin neurons in the LH and neuropeptide Y neurons in arcuate nucleus
(ARC). GALP-containing neurons also co-localize with alpha-melanin stimulating
hormone (alpha-MSH)-immunopositivity. 3V=third ventricle. |
