This study identifies a hypothalamic pathway involving ARCAgRP neurons and the MnPO that triggers energy conservation during fasting.

The paper shows that environmental cues predicting future fasting rapidly activate AgRP neurons via a circuit involving PVHSim2 neurons.

The paper maps neural activity in the mouse brainstem during food consumption, showing how different body signals are integrated across spatially clustered neurons.

This study shows chronic stress can lead anxious female mice to prefer a starvation-like state induced by AgRP neuron activation.

The paper investigates how midbrain dopaminergic input to the basal amygdala gates responses to salient cues during learning in mice.

This study identifies CeA Htr2a neurons as regulators of food consumption through positive valence mechanisms using in vivo activity manipulations and electrophysiology.
