Open AccessA neural basis for brain leptin action on reducing type 1 diabetic hyperglycemia
Central leptin action rescues type 1 diabetic (T1D) hyperglycemia; however, the underlying mechanism and the identity of mediating neurons remain elusive. Here, we show that leptin receptor (LepR)-expressing n...

Open AccessParaventricular hypothalamus mediates diurnal rhythm of metabolism
Defective rhythmic metabolism is associated with high-fat high-caloric diet (HFD) feeding, ageing and obesity; however, the neural basis underlying HFD effects on diurnal metabolism remains elusive. Here we sh...

Open AccessIdentification of a neurocircuit underlying regulation of feeding by stress-related emotional responses
Feeding is known to be profoundly affected by stress-related emotional states and eating disorders are comorbid with psychiatric symptoms and altered emotional responses. The neural basis underlying feeding re...

Open AccessA neural basis for antagonistic control of feeding and compulsive behaviors
Abnormal feeding often co-exists with compulsive behaviors, but the underlying neural basis remains unknown. Excessive self-grooming in rodents is associated with compulsivity. Here, we show that optogenetical...

Open AccessSelective potentiation of 2-APB-induced activation of TRPV1–3 channels by acid
Temperature-sensitive TRP channels are important for responses to pain and inflammation, to both of which tissue acidosis is a major contributing factor. However, except for TRPV1, acid-sensing by other Thermo...
