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.

Mitochondria release segments of mitochondrial DNA that can travel through pores of the nucleus and integrate into a cell's chromosomes (where the insertions are called NUMTs, for nuclear mitochochondrial segments). A new study has found that nuclear mitochondrial DNA insertion—once thought rare—happens in the human brain likely several times over during a person’s lifespan.
