Example neuron in the anterior ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH, blue line). Using a technique called “uncaging”, researchers found that inhibitory signals near the centre of this neuron (yellow squares) were stronger during the fertile phase of the reproductive cycle. Reduced activity in these cells promotes mating behaviour.
