In mice, orexin neurons multiplex the encoding of rapid body-movements with slow changes in blood glucose. The extent to which these neurons correlate with movement across behavioral and metabolic states surprised us! Now a Version of Record in @elife.bsky.social. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

Policy complexity is expensive. How does the brain regulate its investment of cognitive capacity? Our newest paper is on BioRxiv! We examine hypothalamic orexin (and MCH!) -producing neurons for their role in regulating the complexity decision policies. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Neurometabolic signaling and control of policy complexity

Cognition and adaptive behavior emerge from neural information processing. This must operate within finite metabolic constraints, since neural information processing is metabolically expensive. While ...
