This study shows that dietary fructose causes anxiety by impairing microglia function, with sex-specific effects on metabolism and behavior.

This study shows that lipid droplet lipolysis in POMC neurons regulates energy homeostasis, with sex-specific effects on body weight and metabolism.

The paper identifies neuronal lipid droplets as conserved structures that regulate energy homeostasis with sex-biased effects in flies and mice.

This study shows that systemic inflammation increases exploitative behavior in mice during patch-foraging tasks, suggesting a link between immunometabolic states and decision-making.

The paper investigates how stress affects activity levels through interactions between orexin neurons and astrocytes, finding that astrocytic glucocorticoid receptors mediate sex-specific changes in neuronal firing and activity.

This study shows that peripheral inflammation reduces D1-MSN excitability in the NAc by increasing microglial engulfment of glutamatergic inputs.

This study shows that inhibiting ATGL in microglia reduces LPS-induced inflammation and sickness behavior in mice.

This study examines changes in spontaneous neural activity after bariatric surgery using fALFF and ReHo, finding increased activity in specific brain regions linked to weight loss and metabolic improvements.
