Neural Regulation of Reproduction. The CNE has a strong focus on understanding the neural processes involved in controlling reproduction. This includes being fertile right through to motherhood. Current research questions are -. Neural regulation of fertility. How do the GnRH neurons that control puberty and adult fertility function? How does nutrition and metabolism impact on fertility? How does stress impact upon fertility? Neural control of parturition and lactation. How does the brain control birth?

Body Weight and Reproduction. The CNE has a strong emphasis on understanding the neuroendocrine control of body weight and blood glucose levels, and on understanding the developmental origins of diseases associated with obesity and diabetes during pregnancy. State of the art techniques such as metabolic phenotyping, gene therapy and generation of conditional transgenic animals are utilized to address the current research questions:. Neuroendocrine regulation of body weight. What is the role of epigenetic...

The neuroendocrinology of stress. Researchers in the CNE are interested in understanding how neuroendocrine systems control and respond to stress. Research is directed at characterising stress-induced activation of specific neuroendocrine cell populations, and at investigating the integrated neuroendocrinological response to stress under a variety of physiological states. Current research questions are -. Hypothalamic neural circuits controlling stress. The adrenal's role in the stress response.
