Kisspeptin neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Kiss1ARH) co-express Kiss1, NKB, dynorphin and glutamate and are postulated to provide an episodic, excitatory drive to gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1 (GnRH) neurons, the synaptic mechanisms of which are unknown. We characterized the cellular basis for synchronized Kiss1ARH neuronal activity using optogenetics, whole-cell electrophysiology, molecular pharmacology and single cell RT-PCR in mice. High-frequency photostimulation of Kiss1ARH neurons evoked local release of excitatory (NKB) and inhibitory (dynorphin) neuropeptides, which were found to synchronize the Kiss1ARH neuronal firing. The light-evoked synchronous activity caused robust excitation of GnRH neurons by a synaptic mechanism that also involved glutamatergic input to preoptic Kiss1 neurons from Kiss1ARH neurons. We propose that Kiss1ARH neurons play a dual role of driving episodic secretion of GnRH through the differential release of peptide and amino acid neurotransmitters to coordinate reproductive function.}, journal={eLife}, publisher={eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd}, author={Qiu, Jian and Nestor, Casey C and Zhang, Chunguang and Padilla, Stephanie L and Palmiter, Richard D and Kelly, Martin J and Rønnekleiv, Oline K}, year={2016}, month={Aug} } @article{nestor_qiu_padilla_zhang_bosch_fan_palmiter_rønnekleiv_kelly_aicher_2016, title={Optogenetic Stimulation of Arcuate Nucleus Kiss1 Neurons Reveals a Steroid-Dependent Glutamatergic Input to POMC and AgRP Neurons in Male Mice}, volume={30}, DOI={10.1210/me.2016-1026}, number={6}, journal={Molecular Endocrinology}, author={Nestor, CC and Qiu, J and Padilla, SL and Zhang, C and Bosch, MA and Fan, W and Palmiter, RD and Rønnekleiv, OK and Kelly, MJ and Aicher, SA}, year={2016}, pages={630–644} } @article{nestor_kelly_rønnekleiv_2014, title={Cross-talk between reproduction and energy homeostasis: central impact of estrogens, leptin and kisspeptin signaling}, volume={17}, ISSN={1868-1891 1868-1883}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/hmbci-2013-0050}, DOI={10.1515/hmbci-2013-0050}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={3}, journal={Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation}, publisher={Walter de Gruyter GmbH}, author={Nestor, Casey C. and Kelly, Martin J. and Rønnekleiv, Oline K.}, year={2014}, month={Jan} } @article{qiu_zhang_borgquist_nestor_smith_bosch_ku_wagner_rønnekleiv_kelly_2014, title={Insulin Excites Anorexigenic Proopiomelanocortin Neurons via Activation of Canonical Transient Receptor Potential Channels}, volume={19}, ISSN={1550-4131}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2014.03.004}, DOI={10.1016/j.cmet.2014.03.004}, number={4}, journal={Cell Metabolism}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Qiu, Jian and Zhang, Chunguang and Borgquist, Amanda and Nestor, Casey C and Smith, Arik W. and Bosch, Martha A. and Ku, Stephen and Wagner, Edward J. and Rønnekleiv, Oline K. and Kelly, Martin J.}, year={2014}, month={Apr}, pages={682–693} } @article{porter_hileman_hardy_nestor_lehman_goodman_2014, title={Neurokinin-3 Receptor Activation in the Retrochiasmatic Area is Essential for the Full Pre-Ovulatory Luteinising Hormone Surge in Ewes}, volume={26}, ISSN={0953-8194}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jne.12180}, DOI={10.1111/jne.12180}, number={11}, journal={Journal of Neuroendocrinology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Porter, K.
