Hypothalamic warm-sensitive neurons require TRPC4 channel for detecting internal warmth and regulating body temperature in mice

Qian Zhou et al.

Summary: Precise monitoring of internal temperature is crucial for thermal homeostasis in mammals. Through a genetic screen, TRPC4 channel was identified as essential for warm sensing in GABAergic WSNs, playing a role in basal temperature setting, warm defense, and fever responses. TRPC4 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for managing core body temperature.

A synaptic amplifier of hunger for regaining body weight in the hypothalamus

Katarzyna Grzelka et al.

Summary: Restricting caloric intake effectively reduces body weight, but most dieters fail long-term adherence to caloric deficit and eventually regain lost weight. This study reveals the crucial role of synaptic plasticity in hunger-promoting AgRP neurons and identifies a previously unrecognized target to combat regain of lost weight through activity-dependent amplification of synaptic activity originating from paraventricular hypothalamus thyrotropin-releasing (PVHTRH) neurons.

Nutrient-sensing AgRP neurons relay control of liver autophagy during energy deprivation

Weiyi Chen et al.

Summary: This study found that fasting activates autophagy in the liver and AgRP neurons in the hypothalamus of mice. Activation of AgRP neurons induce autophagy, alter phosphorylation of autophagy regulators, and promote ketogenesis. The induction of liver autophagy by AgRP neurons relies on NPY release in the PVH via inhibition of NPY1R-expressing neurons to activate PVHCRH neurons. This study reveals a fundamental regulatory principle of liver autophagy in controlling metabolic adaptation during nutrient deprivation.

TLR4 in POMC neurons regulates thermogenesis in a sex-dependent manner

Yongxiang Li et al.

Summary: The rising prevalence of obesity is a global health concern. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is abundantly expressed in the brain and plays a role in regulating energy expenditure and thermogenesis. Deleting TLR4 in POMC neurons affects energy expenditure and thermogenesis in a sex-dependent manner, leading to reduced body weight in male mice and increased body weight in female mice. The inhibition of immune-related signaling pathway in white adipose tissue exacerbates the development of obesity. Overall, TLR4 in POMC neurons regulates thermogenesis and lipid balance in a sex-dependent manner.

The melanocortin action is biased toward protection from weight loss in mice

Hongli Li et al.

Summary: Inhibition of hypothalamic melanocortin action leads to obesity, while chronic activation does not cause weight loss. The bidirectional regulation of body weight by melanocortin action cannot explain the difficulty in finding effective therapeutics for general obesity. This study demonstrates that altered melanocortin action is one-directional, with chronic inhibition causing obesity but chronic activation failing to reduce body weight. These findings provide a neural basis for the predisposition to obesity development and the bias of melanocortin action towards protecting weight loss.

Enteroendocrine cell lineages that differentially control feeding and gut motility

Marito Hayashi et al.

Summary: Enteroendocrine cells, which are found in the gut and play a role in the gut-brain axis, produce multiple gut hormones with potentially opposing effects. In this study, the researchers developed a method to selectively study enteroendocrine cells in mice using genetic techniques. They were able to target specific enteroendocrine cell lineages that produce different hormones and found that activating different types of enteroendocrine cells had varying effects on feeding behavior and gut motility. Understanding the physiological roles of different enteroendocrine cell types is important for the study of sensory biology in the intestine.

Effects of clozapine-N-oxide and compound 21 on sleep in laboratory mice

Janine Traut et al.

Summary: Designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs) are chemogenetic tools for remote control of targeted cell populations using chemical actuators that bind to modified receptors. In this study, we demonstrated that the commonly used DREADD actuator, clozapine-N-oxide (CNO), as well as a novel actuator, compound 21 (C21), can modulate sleep in mice not expressing DREADD receptors. Our findings suggest that back-metabolism to clozapine is not the sole mechanism underlying the sleep effects of chemogenetic actuators.

Induction of a torpor-like hypothermic and hypometabolic state in rodents by ultrasound

Yaoheng Yang et al.

Summary: By using ultrasound to activate specific neurons in the hypothalamus, researchers have successfully induced a torpor-like state in rodents, characterized by hypothermia and reduced metabolic rate. This noninvasive technique involves closed-loop feedback control of ultrasound stimulation and automated detection of body temperature. The study identifies TRPM2 as an ultrasound-sensitive ion channel in the hypothalamus preoptic area, and demonstrates the feasibility of ultrasound-induced hypothermia and hypometabolism in non-torpid animals.

Hypothalamic melanin-concentrating hormone regulates hippocampus-dorsolateral septum activity

Jing-Jing Liu et al.

Summary: The study uncovered the physiological mechanism underlying the functional role of melanin-concentrating hormone in the dorsolateral septum, a region involved in routing hippocampal firing rhythms and encoding spatial memory. The results showed that MCH synchronizes neuronal firing in the dLS with its dCA3 inputs by enhancing GABA release and subsequently reducing feed-forward inhibition, supporting spatial memory encoding. These findings support a model in which peptidergic signaling within the dLS modulates dorsal hippocampal output and supports memory encoding.

The preference for sugar over sweetener depends on a gut sensor cell

Kelly L. Buchanan et al.

Summary: Buchanan, Rupprecht, Kaelberer and colleagues have discovered that the preference for sugar over sweetener in mice is dependent on gut neuropod cells, which rapidly communicate stimuli to drive food choices. These cells differentiate and transduce stimuli from sweeteners and sugars to the vagus nerve using sweet taste receptors and sodium glucose transporters. This study provides insights into how the gut steers preferences for nutritive sugars.

An H2R-dependent medial septum histaminergic circuit mediates feeding behavior

Lingyu Xu et al.

Summary: This study identifies a histaminergic circuit projecting to the medial septum that plays a critical role in feeding behavior. The expression of histamine 2 receptors (H2Rs) in glutamatergic neurons in the medial septum is decreased in diet-induced obesity mice, and down-regulation of H2Rs accelerates body-weight gain. Chronic activation of H2Rs in glutamatergic neurons slows down body-weight gain in obese mice. These findings highlight the potential of targeting H2Rs in glutamatergic neurons as a treatment for obesity.

The cephalic phase of insulin release is modulated by IL-10

Sophia J. Wiedemann et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the initial cephalic phase of insulin secretion is mediated through the vagus nerve and IL-10 is involved in this process. IL-10 stimulates postprandial insulin secretion through neuronal transmission and is produced by microglia. It activates the vagus nerve and regulates hypothalamic activity. Impaired IL-10 signaling contributes to the dysregulation of cephalic phase insulin release in obesity.

Food-induced dopamine signaling in AgRP neurons promotes feeding

Qi Zhang et al.

Summary: Obesity comorbidities such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease are pressing public health concerns. The neural mechanisms underlying excessive food consumption are poorly understood. This study demonstrates the important role of dopamine receptor D1 (Drd1) in the arcuate hypothalamus in regulating food intake, particularly in response to a high-fat diet. Lack of Drd1 expression in neurons leads to reduced consumption of high-fat diet.

Delineating a serotonin 1B receptor circuit for appetite suppression in mice

Li Li et al.

Summary: Li et al. demonstrate the appetite-suppressing effect of a class of commonly prescribed antimigraine drugs in mice and elucidate the underlying neural pathway. They find that triptans can reduce food intake and body weight in mice, and this anorectic effect is dependent on the serotonin 1B receptor. By manipulating Htr1b in different brain regions, they show that Htr1b engages in spatiotemporally segregated neural pathways to regulate growth and food intake. Furthermore, they discover the involvement of Htr1b in AgRP neurons in the hypothalamus in the hypophagic effects of HTR1B agonists.

Prostaglandin EP3 receptor-expressing preoptic neurons bidirectionally control body temperature via tonic GABAergic signaling

Yoshiko Nakamura et al.

Summary: In this study, the bidirectional control of the thermoregulatory center in the preoptic area (POA) was investigated using rats. Prostaglandin EP3 receptor-expressing POA neurons (POAEP3R neurons) were identified as a pivotal bidirectional controller in the central thermoregulatory mechanism. These neurons are activated in response to elevated ambient temperature but inhibited by prostaglandin E2. Stimulation of these neurons reduces body temperature by enhancing heat dissipation, while inhibition of them leads to hyperthermia involving brown fat thermogenesis.

Dopamine-inhibited POMCDrd2+neurons in the ARC acutely regulate feeding and body temperature

Isabella Gaziano et al.

Summary: This study reveals the differential effects of dopamine on neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, with activation of food intake-promoting neurons and inhibition of anorexigenic neurons. By targeting specific POMC neurons, it is found that dopamine-mediated inhibition of feeding depends on the Drd2 receptor, and POMCDrd2+ neurons exhibit differential expression of neuropeptide signaling mediators. Chemogenetic activation of POMCDrd2+ neurons can suppress feeding and maintain body temperature.

Acts of appetite: neural circuits governing the appetitive, consummatory, and terminating phases of feeding

Ivan C. Alcantara et al.

Summary: This Review discusses the advances in neuroscience that have identified brain regions and neural circuits involved in regulating appetite during different phases of eating, including food procurement, food consumption, and meal termination. Studies have found that not only hypothalamic nuclei, but also other brain regions and circuits beyond the hypothalamus, such as the mesolimbic pathway and nodes in the hindbrain, play a role in modulating appetite. Long-term exposure to a calorically dense diet can also alter feeding circuits and the response of motivational systems to food.

NTS Prlh overcomes orexigenic stimuli and ameliorates dietary and genetic forms of obesity

Wenwen Cheng et al.

Summary: The study shows that Prlh-expressing NTS neurons can suppress the effects of high-fat diets on body weight in mice, and activation of Prlh(NTs) neurons and overexpression of Prlh in these cells can abolish hyperphagia driven by AgRP neurons, improving obesity in mice deficient in melanocortin signaling or leptin. This suggests that enhancing Prlh-mediated neurotransmission from the NTS can attenuate hypothalamically-driven hyperphagia and obesity, overriding orexigenic signals in the long-term energy balance.
