Somatostatin Neurons in the Basal Forebrain Promote High-Calorie Food Intake

Somatostatin Neurons in the Basal Forebrain Promote High-Calorie Food Intake

Obesity has become a global issue, and the overconsumption of food is thought to be a major contributor. However, the regulatory neural circuits that regulate palatable food consumption remain unclear. Here, we report that somatostatin (SOM) neurons and GABAergic (VGAT) neurons in the basal forebrai...
