Glucokinase neurons of the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus sense glucose and decrease food consumption

iScience, 2021
Summary: The paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) controls goal-oriented behavior through its connections to the nucleus accumbens (NAc). We previously characterized Glut2aPVT neurons that are activated by hypoglycemia, and which increase ...
