Electrical inhibition of identified anorexigenic POMC neurons by orexin/hypocretin.
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) suppress appetite, and lack of POMC-derived peptides or electrical silencing of POMC neurons causes obesity. ARC POMC neurons are surrounded by nerve terminals containing the wakefulness-promoting peptides orexins/hypocreti...
