Melanin-concentrating hormone inhibits PVN oxytocin neurons through a barium-sensitive inwardly rectifying potassium channels and MCH-neuron ablation alters pup-directed aggression
Interactions between melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons and oxytocin neurons are crucial for parental care. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings demonstrated that MCH inhibits paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN)-oxytocin neurons through activation of barium-sensitive inwardly rectifying potassium channels, potentially G-protein coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channels, and…
