Agouti-related protein neuron circuits that regulate appetite
Sternson, Scott M.; Atasoy, Deniz (Karger, 2014)New tools for mapping and manipulating molecularly defined neural circuits have improved the understanding of how the central nervous system regulates appetite. Studies that focused on Agouti-related protein neurons, a ... -
Chemogenetic tools for causal cellular and neuronal biology
Atasoy, Deniz; Sternson, Scott M. (American Physiological Society, 2018)Chemogenetic technologies enable selective pharmacological control of specific cell populations. An increasing number of approaches have been developed that modulate different signaling pathways. Selective pharmacological ... -
An emerging technology framework for the neurobiology of appetite
Sternson, Scott M.; Atasoy, Deniz; Betley, J. Nicholas; Henry, Fredrick E.; Xu, Shengjin (Cell Press, 2016)Advances in neuro-technology for mapping, manipulating, and monitoring molecularly defined cell types are rapidly advancing insight into neural circuits that regulate appetite. Here, we review these important tools and ... -
Functional and anatomical dissection of feeding circuits
Atasoy, Deniz; Sternson, Scott M. (Wiley, 2016)This chapter reviews the application of new genetically encoded tools in feeding circuits that regulate appetite. Rapid activation and inhibition of agouti related peptide (AgRP) neurons conclusively established a causal ... -
A genetically specified connectomics approach applied to long-range feeding regulatory circuits
Atasoy, Deniz; Betley, Jan Nicholas; Li, Wei-Ping; Hong Su, Helen; Sertel, Sinem M.; Scheffer, Louis K.; Simpson, Julie H.; Fetter, Richard D.; Sternson, Scott M. (Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Synaptic connectivity and molecular composition provide a blueprint for information processing in neural circuits. Detailed structural analysis of neural circuits requires nanometer resolution, which can be obtained with ...
