This webinar dives into the development and establishment of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) system and the importance of its first postnatal activation.

Key topics include:

  • realizing that the hypothalamus plays a vital role in the control of sensory and cognitive functions, and
  • learning about mini puberty and its key role in brain development.

Vincent Prevot, PhD, a research director and head of the Development and Plasticity of the Neuroendocrine Brain lab at Lille Neuroscience & Cognition, Inserm, headquartered in France, completed his postdoctoral studies on neuronal and glial plasticity in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone system in the laboratory of Sergio Ojeda, DVM, at the Oregon National Primate Research Center/Oregon Health & Science University. These studies have led and continue to lead to many seminal contributions in our understanding of the central control of mammalian reproduction. Prevot’s current research at Lille focuses on systems neuroscience and neuroendocrinology and in particular, brain circuits that control reproduction and metabolism and the neural pathways through which they respond to peripheral information. His lab also studies the role of the early postnatal activation of reproductive circuits during a period called minipuberty on brain development and aging, including cognitive aging.
