Feb 16, 2016 · The anterolateral BNST, located just ventral of the oval nucleus, is an area where many of the distinct subpopulations responsible for shifting BNST roles meet.

Some well-defined nuclei in the dlBNST include the oval, juxtacapsular and rhomboid nucleus; those in the vBNST include the fusiform and the magnocellular nucleus. Among these, the oval nucleus (BNSTov) has particular note as a center for stress signal integration and relay to other limbic structures. Figure 1.

Jun 22, 2015 · The BNST ALG, as defined by Dong and Swanson (2004), consists of the oval, juxtacapsular, fusiform, and rhomboid (not pictured) nuclei, as well as the undifferentiated region surrounding these...

The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is a heterogeneous and complex limbic forebrain structure, which plays an important role in controlling autonomic, neuroendocrine and behavioral responses. The BNST is thought to serve as a key relay ...

Apr 27, 2022 · Histological analyses following injections of AAV5-hSyn-DIO-mCherry into the BNST of Cart-Cre mice revealed that CART-positive BNST neurons were specifically localized in the oval region (ovBNST) within the anterior BNST (Fig. 5, A to C).

Jun 24, 2019 · We found that protein kinase C-delta (PKC-δ) is a marker that labels neurons exclusively in the oval region of BNST (ovBNST), which is a region previously demonstrated to include...

The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is known to play a critical role in mediating the behavioural and autonomic responses to stressors. The oval nucleus of the BNST (BNSTov) contains cell bodies that synthesise the stress hormone corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF).

Jan 1, 2021 · The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is a medial basal forebrain structure that modulates the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. The heterogeneous subnuclei of the BNST integrate inputs from mood and reward-related areas and send direct inhibitory projections to the hypothalamus.

Within the BNST, plenty of input neurons were primarily located in the oval and interfascicular subregions. Furthermore, numerous BNST CR-expressing neuronal boutons were observed within the BNST but not in other brain regions, thus suggesting that …

Jul 13, 2020 · Similarly, we found neurons in the oval BNST subdivision (ovBNST) that were activated during contextual fear conditioning without being reactivated during retrieval.
