Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and
participate in synaptic, circuit, and behavioral functions. The well‐developed protoplasmic …

Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NF-κB) is a ubiquitously expressed transcription factor with key
functions in a wide array of biological systems. While the role of NF-κB in processes, such as …

Background The brain was once thought of as an insulin-insensitive organ. We now know
that the insulin receptor is present throughout the brain and serves important functions in …

The hypothalamus is key in the control of energy balance. However, strategies targeting
hypothalamic neurons have failed to provide viable options to treat most metabolic diseases …

Astrocytes, microglia, and tanycytes play active roles in the regulation of hypothalamic
feeding circuits. These non-neuronal cells are crucial in determining the functional …

The initial discovery that ob/ob mice become obese because of a recessive mutation of the
leptin gene has been crucial to discover the melanocortin pathway to control appetite. In the …

The fertility and survival of an individual rely on the ability of the periphery to promptly,
