Direct modulation of GFAP-expressing glia in the arcuate nucleus bi-directionally regulates feeding

Multiple hypothalamic neuronal populations that regulate energy balance have been identified. Although hypothalamic glia exist in abundance and form intimate structural connections with neurons, their roles in energy homeostasis are less known. Here we show that selective Ca2+ activation of glia in...
