This study identifies that semaglutide induces weight loss via cAMP-dependent mechanisms in GLP1R-expressing hindbrain neurons through both Gs- and Gq-signaling pathways.

The paper identifies a conserved excitatory neuron gradient in human mediodorsal thalamus using single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics, linking it to psychiatric disorder risk.

This study identifies a hypothalamic circuit involving ARCAgRP and MPOABRS3 neurons that modulates the prioritization of feeding and parenting behaviors during lactation.

The paper identifies five molecularly distinct PVT neuronal subtypes using snRNA-seq and reveals their spatial organization and connectivity with cortical areas.
