The Parabrachial Nucleus: CGRP Neurons Function as a General Alarm

Open access
Palmiter, Richard D.·2018·Trends in Neurosciences

Abstract

The parabrachial nucleus (PBN), which is located in the pons and dissected by one of the major cerebellar output tracks, is known to relay sensory information (visceral malaise, taste, temperature, pain, itch) to forebrain structures including the thalamus, hypothalamus and extended amygdala. The availability of mouse lines expressing Cre-recombinase selectively in subsets of PBN neurons and of Cre-dependent viruses that allow circuit mapping and manipulation of neuron function is beginning to reveal the connectivity and functions of PBN’s component neurons. This review focuses on the PBN neurons that express calcitonin gene-related protein (CGRPPBN) that play a major role in regulating appetite and transmitting real or potential threat signals to the extended amygdala. The functions of other specific PBN neuronal populations are also discussed. This review aims to encourage investigation of the numerous unanswered questions that are becoming accessible.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
