This study investigates how diet and age affect AgRP/NPY neuronal activity in female mice, finding sex and age-dependent responses to high-fat diets.

This paper develops a cross-species platform to model human disease using genetically diverse mouse and human stem cells, showing that DYRK1A loss of function effects vary with genetic background.

This study shows that high-fat diet causes AgRP neurons to lose GABAergic inhibition, leading to persistent hyperexcitability despite increased inhibitory input.
