Newly discovered neurons could revolutionize obesity treatmentWithin the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus, leptin influences two key neuronal populations. One, the agouti-related protein (AGRP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons, stimulates hunger ...
The hypothalamus in the brain contains the temperature monitoring centre for the body. The hypothalamus receives nerve impulses from structures in the skin called thermoreceptors, which give ...
[34–36] From the ARC, these first-order POMC/CART and NPY/AgRP neurons project to second-order neurons in several hypothalamic nuclei, including the VMN, DMN, PVN and the lateral hypothalamic area.
