The paper shows that Trpc5 in Esr1-expressing neurons of the MPOA controls paternal behavior in male mice by altering neuronal excitability and plasticity.

The paper identifies a conserved postprandial metabolite, pTOS, that links nutrient intake to energy balance through a gut-brain pathway in pythons and mice, with potential relevance to humans.

This study identifies THIK-1 channel as a glucose sensor in microglia that modulates AgRP neuron activity and feeding behavior in diet-induced obesity.

This study investigates how glutamatergic signaling affects exosome precursor trafficking and secretion in cortical neurons, showing increased exosome release but minimal changes in miRNA content.

The paper shows that 5-HTDRN neurons are inhibited by GABA and dopamine, enabling meal initiation through their synergistic effects.

This study shows that hypothalamic perineuronal nets (PNNs) are regulated by sex, gonadal hormones, and dietary interventions in a region-specific manner.
