THE NEUROBIOLOGICAL MECHANISM UNDERLYING HYPOTHALAMIC GNRH PULSE GENERATION: THE ROLE OF KISSPEPTIN NEURONS IN THE ARCUATE NUCLEUS [VERSION 1; PEER REVIEW: 4 APPROVED]

The neurobiological mechanism underlying hypothalamic GnRH pulse generation: the role of kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus [version 1; peer review: 4 approved]

This review recounts the origins and development of the concept of the hypothalamic Gift Card gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator.It starts in the late 1960s when striking rhythmic episodes of luteinizing hormone secretion, as reflected by circulating concentrations of this gonadotropin, were first observed in monkeys and ends in

Testing the passive sampling hypothesis: The role of dispersal in shaping microbial species-area relationship

Dispersal is one of the key processes determining biodiversity.The passive sampling hypothesis, which emphasizes dispersal processes, suggests that larger habitats receive more species from the species pool as the main mechanism leading to more species in larger habitats than in smaller habitats (i.e., species-area relationships).However, the speci
