GABAergic projections from lateral hypothalamus to paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus promote feeding.
JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE(2015)
摘要
Lesions of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) cause hypophagia. However, activation of glutamatergic neurons in LH inhibits feeding. These results suggest a potential importance for other LH neurons in stimulating feeding. Our current study in mice showed that disruption of GABA release from adult LH GABAergic neurons reduced feeding. LH GABAergic neurons project extensively to the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), and optogenetic stimulation of GABAergic LH -> PVH fibers induced monosynaptic IPSCs in PVH neurons, and potently increased feeding, which depended on GABArelease. In addition, disruption of GABA-A receptors in the PVH reduced feeding. Thus, we have identified a new feeding pathway in which GABAergic projections from the LH to the PVH promote feeding.
