Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how the dromedary camel's ovulation is induced by a substance called beta nerve growth factor (β-NGF) found in male sperm.
- Researchers conducted experiments showing that injecting β-NGF into female camels led to ovulation, with noticeable increases in hormones like LH and progesterone over time.
- The results also revealed that β-NGF activates specific neurons in the brain, particularly those involved in reproductive control, which may play a key role in triggering ovulation.

Mood state alterations are often accompanied by disruptions of daily rhythms of physiology. Circadian rhythms of physiology are controlled by a central clock harbored in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is functionally dependent on the rhythmic expression of several clock genes. The molecular clockwork has been identified in other extra-SCN brain regions, some of which are implicated in the regulation of motivational and emotional states, although their specific circadian role is not fully known.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) present a wide range of symptoms characterized by altered sociability, compromised communication and stereotypic/repetitive behaviors. These symptoms are caused by developmental changes, but the mechanisms remain largely unknown. Some lines of evidence suggest an impairment of the cholesterol/isoprenoid metabolism in the brain as a possible cause, but systematic analyses in rodent models of ASDs are lacking.
