The paper generates an integrated scRNA-seq dataset of postnatal mouse hypothalamus and adjacent BNST, identifying 30 cell populations and revealing NSC and IPC differentiation trajectories.

The paper shows that certain odorants can block stress hormone responses to various stressors in mice by inhibiting hypothalamic neurons involved in stress signaling.

This study identifies LHLepR neurons as key to food-seeking and evaluating behaviors, showing how hunger gates motivation through neural circuits.

Connect-seq combines viral tracing and single-cell transcriptomics to map molecular identities and signaling molecules in neural circuits, revealing upstream neuron subsets and their anatomical locations in the hypothalamus.
