The hypothalamus is a brain structure with a key role in the regulation of food intake. Among the different neuronal populations of which it is composed, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are classically known to decrease food intake and body weight through the release of neuropeptides produced by the cleavage of POMC. Our study, through the use of genetic, pharmacological, electrophysiological and molecular approaches, challenges conventional notions about POMC neuron function in energy balance by showing that there are two functionally distinct POMC neuronal sub-populations, which increase or decrease food intake depending on which neurotransmitter they release, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) or glutamate. A third population capable of prod...
