A comparative analysis shows morphofunctional differences between the rat and mouse melanin-concentrating hormone systems.
Sub-populations of neurons producing melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) are characterized by distinct projection patterns, birthdates and CART/NK3 expression in rat. Evidence for such sub-populations has not been reported in other species. However, given that genetically engineered mouse lines are...
