Single cell RNA sequencing reveals how adolescent sex hormones sculpt hypothalamic cell types required for mating behavior.

This study identifies dLSGLP-1R neurons and their GABAergic projections to the LHA as regulators of feeding behavior in mice, showing that inhibition of these pathways increases food intake.

The paper investigates how pubertal sex hormones regulate transcriptional changes in the medial preoptic area of mice during puberty, revealing sexually dimorphic gene regulatory networks.

This study identifies an endogenous opioid circuit in mice that regulates appetitive behavior through a dorsal raphe to nucleus accumbens projection.

The paper identifies and spatially defines transcriptionally distinct neuronal cell types in the mouse habenula and shows their conservation with zebrafish.

This study identifies a hypothalamic-extended amygdala circuit that regulates temporal discounting by modulating motivational signals through AgRP neurons and Y1R activation.
