Brain-wide input-output analysis of tuberal nucleus somatostatin neurons reveals hierarchical circuits for orchestrating feeding behavior
摘要
Feeding is an innate behavior critical for survival but is also influenced by many non-nutritional factors such as emotion, social context and environmental conditions. Recently, tuberal nucleus somatostatin (TNSST) neurons have been identified as a key feeding regulation node. To gain a deeper understanding of the TNSST neural networks, we quantitatively characterised the brain-wide input-output configuration of mice TNSST neurons using the VITALISTIC method (
