Astrocyte fatty acid uptake and ketogenesis in the mediobasal hypothalamus coordinate adaptive metabolic responses against high-fat diet exposure in male rodents

This study shows that MBH astrocyte lipid metabolism, specifically fatty acid uptake and ketogenesis, plays a key role in regulating energy balance and mitigating high-fat diet-induced obesity in male rodents.

The nucleus accumbens shell regulates hedonic feeding via a rostral hotspot

This study identifies a rostral hotspot in the medial nucleus accumbens shell regulated by D1-SPNs that controls hedonic feeding, introducing Stard5 as a molecular marker for targeted manipulation.
