Recent technological advances opened exciting possibilities for neuroscience, enabling the collection of increasingly detailed neural data. Making sense of the large number of neural recordings ...

Hypothalamic POMC neurons modulate systemic energy balance and glucose homeostasis by sensing nutritional state signals. In addition to this classic regulatory mode, these neurons are also activated ...

Seminal positron emission tomography (PET) functional imaging studies in humans by Fox and Raichle revealed that, during sensory activation, glucose utilization and oxygen consumption are uncoupled, ...
