This study shows that MC3R neurons in the BST modulate feeding and defensive behaviors, with sex-specific effects on feeding reduction and stress responses.

The paper shows that microglia are necessary for proper AgRP neuron innervation to the PVH in offspring exposed to maternal high-fat diets during lactation, affecting metabolic outcomes.

This study shows that leptin-mediated AgRP neuronal activity during postnatal life is essential for proper development of PVH oxytocin projections and autonomic regulation.

The paper shows early fluid homeostasis disruptions affect hypothalamic feeding circuits and alter ingestive behavior in specific contexts.

This study identifies the role of 4EBP1/2 dephosphorylation in inducing quiescence in embryonic neural stem cells, offering insights into adult brain development and potential therapeutic strategies.

This study shows that leptin reduces excitatory input from PPG neurons to PVH GLP-1 receptor neurons, diminishing visceral sensory impact on these neurons.
