Staccato and legato of kisspeptin neurons driving reproduction

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide that plays a critical role in regulating reproduction by controlling a specific population of neurones that release gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). The major populations of kisspeptin neurones are located in two distinct hypothalamic nuclei. In the past decade, there have been significant advances in unraveling the roles of these two kisspeptin neurone populations as the functional control towers of GnRH surge and pulse generation, crucial mechanisms in the regulation of fertility.
