This study develops a human hippocampal organoid model that shows how glucocorticoid stress shifts neural stem cell states, reducing proliferation and promoting quiescence.

The paper identifies GABAergic neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) as a new modulator of feeding behavior and body weight by suppressing orexigenic AgRP/NPY neurons through projections to the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus.

This study shows orexin/hypocretin neurons rapidly control movement by integrating sensory input and initiating locomotion.

This study finds that genetic obesity, not diet-induced obesity, reduces orexin/hypocretin immunoreactivity in the lateral hypothalamus of mice.
