Front coverThe race is ongoing to identify the still unknown GABAergic neurons that mediate the direct effects of leptin on energy homeostasis. However, does that one population really exist? Or is it the combination of many neurons, acting in a wide network to differentially control the various effects of leptin?Image contentThis RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization of the vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter (VGAT, Slc32a1) shows the vast distribution of GABAergic neurons within the mouse nervous system.Read the full article‘A critical update on the leptin-melanocortin system’ by O.
