The absence of food activates the brain's "hunger neurons" even before there is an energy deficit! We discovered a new hypothalamic circuit that enables the brain to predict and prevent deviations from homeostasis. Published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.  ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Please spread the word🔊My lab is looking to hire two international postdocs. If you want to do comp neuro, combine machine learning and awesome math to understand neural circuit activity, then come work with us! Bonn is such a cool place for neuroscience now, you don't want to miss out.

Last year, we helped 100 students save $31K in grad school app fees, giving students from underserved communities the freedom to apply widely. This year we lost 16 partners = $8.2K setback = 110 fewer dreams. 🎓 You can change that. 💸 Donate to open 110 new doors. givebutter.com/supportCL

Flyer for a Donation Call where there was a lost of 16 grad school app fee waiver partners this year, totaling $8,250 in waived fees for aspiring scientists gone, that is 110 applications that may never be submitted.

We discovered an excitatory PVH-Sim2→ARC-AgRP circuit whereby the PVH excites ARC-AgRP neurons in response to the unexpected unavailability of food. This genetically specified circuit is essential for normal energy balance and enables the brain to predict and prevent deviations from homeostasis.

ARC-AgRP "hunger" neurons were found, very unexpectedly, to be inhibited by cognitively-processed sensory cues that anticipate ingestion of food. In this work, we asked are ARC-AgRP neurons also regulated by cues that signal the absence of food and thus able to predict future energy deficit?

Not exactly the same but you might try using AAV-TeNT that blocks synaptic vesicle fusion ("silencing" the infected neuron)
