1 Functional neuroanatomy and plasticity of the hypothalamic circuits regulating autonomic responses to stress Krisztina J. Kovács Laboratory of Molecular Neuroendocrinology Institute of Experimental Medicine Budapest, Hungary

2 ACUTE STRESS Heart rate Blood pressure Muscle tension Respiratory rate Plasma glucose Gastrointestinal actvity HPA Sympato-medullar activity Sympato-adrenal Metabolic X syndrome Mood swings Anxiety Depression Confusion / forgetfulness Burnout Eating disorders Sleeping disorders Social withdrawal / aggression Drug abuse CHRONIC or UNRESOLVED

3 Selye explains STRESS – induced activation of HPA axis Nature, July 4, 1936. A Syndrome produced by Diverse Nocuous Agents “…. a typical response appears, the symptoms of which are independent of the nature of the damaging agent… and represent rather a response to damage as such” H. Selye

10 Vasopressin potentiates CRH action at the corticotropes Rivier et al, 1984

11 ETHER STRESS-INDUCED VASOPRESSIN TRANSCRIPTION IN THE PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS

12 Autonomic projection neurons in the PVN Approx. 1500 neurons in 3 different parvocellular subdivisions: (dorsal-, ventral aspect of medial parvocellular- and lateral-) Neurochemical specificity of these neurons is less known: (Oxytocin, vasopressin, corticotropin-releasing hormone, somatostatin, dynorphin, enkephalin, dopamine…..) Efferent connections: to medullar and spinal preganglionic cells for both divisions (sympathetic and parasympathetic) of the ANS- spinal cord (intermediolateral cell column) - predominantly OXY dorsal vagal complex - predominantly AVP Express ER-beta, MC4R, IRS-2 etc Physiological evidences for mediation of sympatoexcitation...

18 Hypothalamus coordinates autonomic responses in part through AVP, released in NTS. AVP inhibits afferent synaptic transmission in the NTS: 1. By decreasing glutamate release probability (V1a receptor) 2. By inducing synaptic failures and increased conduction times

19 How to study complex autonomic circuits ?
