Global connectivity and function of descending spinal input revealed by 3D microscopy and retrograde transduction

Z Wang, B Maunze, Y Wang, P Tsoulfas… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
The brain communicates with the spinal cord through numerous axon tracts that arise from
discrete nuclei, transmit distinct functions, and often collateralize to facilitate the coordination …

[HTML][HTML] KLF6 and STAT3 co-occupy regulatory DNA and functionally synergize to promote axon growth in CNS neurons

Z Wang, V Mehra, MT Simpson, B Maunze… - Scientific Reports, 2018 - nature.com
The failure of axon regeneration in the CNS limits recovery from damage and disease. Members

While pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) signaling in the
hypothalamic ventromedial nuclei (VMN) has been shown to regulate feeding, a challenge in …

Inhibition of food intake by PACAP in the hypothalamic ventromedial nuclei is mediated by NMDA receptors

JM Resch, B Maunze, KA Phillips, SJ Choi - Physiology & behavior, 2014 - Elsevier
Central injections of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) into the
ventromedial nuclei (VMN) of the hypothalamus produce hypophagia that is dependent upon …

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide receptor activation in the hypothalamus recruits unique signaling pathways involved in energy homeostasis

B Maunze, KW Bruckner, NN Desai… - American Journal …, 2022 - journals.physiology.org
