This study shows that central PRP administration reduces body weight and improves metabolic parameters in diet-induced obese mice through hypothalamic effects.

This study identifies a neural circuit linking appetite and sleep regulation, showing that targeting it with pterostilbene reduces obesity and improves sleep in diet-induced obese mice.

This study shows chronic alcohol exposure increases social avoidance in male mice by enhancing serotonergic inputs to the nucleus accumbens, which inhibits dopamine release and reduces social motivation.

This study identifies two distinct GABAergic neural circuits in the hypothalamus that differentially regulate metabolic homeostasis and obesogenic feeding through specific GABAA receptor signaling pathways.
