  text: The paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH) controls behavioral and physiologic
    processes, including appetite, social behavior, autonomic outflow, and pituitary
    hormone secretion. However, molecular markers for centrally projecting PVH neuron
    populations remain largely undefined, and a complete census of PVH cell types
    has not been established. Therefore, we performed extensive single-cell/nucleus
    RNA sequencing to catalog PVH neuron subtypes and multiplexed error-robust fluorescence
    in situ hybridization (MERFISH) to map them spatially. Our spatial transcriptomic
    atlas resolves 26 Sim1+ and 29 GABAergic neuron populations from the PVH and surrounding
    areas. Additionally, projection-based profiling identified neurons that project
    to the parabrachial region (PB) and spinal cord, helping to determine PVH populations
    that regulate satiety and sympathetic nervous system activity, respectively. Notably,
    activation of PB-projecting PVH neurons expressing Brs3 reduces food intake, and
    silencing them causes obesity. Together, this atlas contributes high-resolution
    PVH spatial and circuit-based gene expression profiles, representing a valuable
    resource for the field of homeostasis.

  text: 'AgRP neurons cause hunger, the drive to seek and consume food. Their activation
    by fasting is key for survival and is thought to be triggered by feedback when
    energy stores are low. However, we know that environmental cues can also regulate
    AgRP neurons since cues that predict future food intake rapidly inhibit AgRP neurons,
    but is the converse true: can the prediction of future fasting rapidly activate
    AgRP neurons? Here, we show in mice that such rapid fasting activation of AgRP
    neurons does occur. This rapid activation is driven by excitatory input from paraventricular
    hypothalamic (PVH) neurons expressing Sim2, which are bidirectionally sensitive
    to predictions of future energy state. Thus, cognitively processed contextual
    information conveyed by PVHSim2 neurons strongly activates AgRP neurons. Lastly,
    chronic silencing of PVHSim2 neurons causes persistent hypophagia. This PVHSim2-to-AgRP-neuron
    circuit, by anticipating and preventing negative energy balance, provides an important
    new dimension of hunger regulation.'

  text: When food is freely available, eating occurs without energy deficit. While
    agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons are likely involved, their activation is
    thought to require negative energy balance. To investigate this, we implemented
    long-term, continuous in vivo fiber-photometry recordings in mice. We discovered
    new forms of AgRP neuron regulation, including fast pre-ingestive decreases in
    activity and unexpectedly rapid activation by fasting. Furthermore, AgRP neuron
    activity has a circadian rhythm that peaks concurrent with the daily feeding onset.
    Importantly, this rhythm persists when nutrition is provided via constant-rate
    gastric infusions. Hence, it is not secondary to a circadian feeding rhythm. The
    AgRP neuron rhythm is driven by the circadian clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus
    (SCN), as SCN ablation abolishes the circadian rhythm in AgRP neuron activity
    and feeding. The SCN activates AgRP neurons via excitatory afferents from thyrotrophin-releasing
    hormone-expressing neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMHTrh neurons) to
    drive daily feeding rhythms.

  text: 'Fasting initiates a multitude of adaptations to allow survival. Activation
    of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and subsequent release of glucocorticoid
    hormones is a key response that mobilizes fuel stores to meet energy demands1,2,3,4,5.
    Despite the importance of the HPA axis response, the neural mechanisms that drive
    its activation during energy deficit are unknown. Here, we show that fasting-activated
    hypothalamic agouti-related peptide (AgRP)-expressing neurons trigger and are
    essential for fasting-induced HPA axis activation. AgRP neurons do so through
    projections to the paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH), where, in a mechanism not
    previously described for AgRP neurons, they presynaptically inhibit the terminals
    of tonically active GABAergic afferents from the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis
    (BNST) that otherwise restrain activity of corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH)-expressing
    neurons. This disinhibition of PVHCrh neurons requires γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)/GABA-B
    receptor signalling and potently activates the HPA axis. Notably, stimulation
    of the HPA axis by AgRP neurons is independent of their induction of hunger, showing
    that these canonical ‘hunger neurons’ drive many distinctly different adaptations
    to the fasted state. Together, our findings identify the neural basis for fasting-induced
    HPA axis activation and uncover a unique means by which AgRP neurons activate
    downstream neurons: through presynaptic inhibition of GABAergic afferents. Given
    the potency of this disinhibition of tonically active BNST afferents, other activators
    of the HPA axis, such as psychological stress, may also work by reducing BNST
    inhibitory tone onto PVHCrh neurons.'

  text: The forebrain hemispheres are predominantly separated during embryogenesis
    by the interhemispheric fissure (IHF). Radial astroglia remodel the IHF to form
    a continuous substrate between the hemispheres for midline crossing of the corpus
    callosum (CC) and hippocampal commissure (HC). Deleted in colorectal carcinoma
    (DCC) and netrin 1 (NTN1) are molecules that have an evolutionarily conserved
    function in commissural axon guidance. The CC and HC are absent in <jats:italic>Dcc</jats:italic>
    and <jats:italic>Ntn1</jats:italic> knockout mice, while other commissures are
    only partially affected, suggesting an additional aetiology in forebrain commissure
    formation. Here, we find that these molecules play a critical role in regulating
    astroglial development and IHF remodelling during CC and HC formation. Human subjects
    with <jats:italic>DCC</jats:italic> mutations display disrupted IHF remodelling
    associated with CC and HC malformations. Thus, axon guidance molecules such as
    DCC and NTN1 first regulate the formation of a midline substrate for dorsal commissures
    prior to their role in regulating axonal growth and guidance across it.

  text: Leptin informs the brain about sufficiency of fuel stores. When insufficient,
    leptin levels fall, triggering compensatory increases in appetite. Falling leptin
    is first sensed by hypothalamic neurons, which then initiate adaptive responses.
    With regard to hunger, it is thought that leptin-sensing neurons work entirely
    via circuits within the central nervous system (CNS). Very unexpectedly, however,
    we now show this is not the case. Instead, stimulation of hunger requires an intervening
    endocrine step, namely activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenocortical
    (HPA) axis. Increased corticosterone then activates AgRP neurons to fully increase
    hunger. Importantly, this is true for 2 forms of low leptin-induced hunger, fasting
    and poorly controlled type 1 diabetes. Hypoglycemia, which also stimulates hunger
    by activating CNS neurons, albeit independently of leptin, similarly recruits
    and requires this pathway by which HPA axis activity stimulates AgRP neurons.
    Thus, HPA axis regulation of AgRP neurons is a previously underappreciated step
    in homeostatic regulation of hunger.

  text: The complex behaviors underlying reward seeking and consumption are integral
    to organism survival. The hypothalamus and mesolimbic dopamine system are key
    mediators of these behaviors, yet regulation of appetitive and consummatory behaviors
    outside of these regions is poorly understood. The central nucleus of the amygdala
    (CeA) has been implicated in feeding and reward, but the neurons and circuit mechanisms
    that positively regulate these behaviors remain unclear. Here, we defined the
    neuronal mechanisms by which CeA neurons promote food consumption. Using in vivo
    activity manipulations and Ca2+ imaging in mice, we found that GABAergic serotonin
    receptor 2a (Htr2a)-expressing CeA neurons modulate food consumption, promote
    positive reinforcement and are active in vivo during eating. We demonstrated electrophysiologically,
    anatomically and behaviorally that intra-CeA and long-range circuit mechanisms
    underlie these behaviors. Finally, we showed that CeAHtr2a neurons receive inputs
    from feeding-relevant brain regions. Our results illustrate how defined CeA neural
    circuits positively regulate food consumption.

  text: The left and right sides of the nervous system communicate via commissural
    axons that cross the midline during development using evolutionarily conserved
    molecules. These guidance cues have been particularly well studied in the mammalian
    spinal cord, but it remains unclear whether these guidance mechanisms for commissural
    axons are similar in the developing forebrain, in particular for the corpus callosum,
    the largest and most important commissure for cortical function. Here, we show
    that Netrin1 initially attracts callosal pioneering axons derived from the cingulate
    cortex, but surprisingly is not attractive for the neocortical callosal axons
    that make up the bulk of the projection. Instead, we show that Netrin-deleted
    in colorectal cancer signaling acts in a fundamentally different manner, to prevent
    the Slit2-mediated repulsion of precrossing axons thereby allowing them to approach
    and cross the midline. These results provide the first evidence for how callosal
    axons integrate multiple guidance cues to navigate the midline.
