Glucose rapidly induces different forms of excitatory synaptic plasticity in hypothalamic POMC neurons.

Glucose rapidly induces different forms of excitatory synaptic plasticity in hypothalamic POMC neurons.

Hypothalamic POMC neurons are required for glucose and energy homeostasis. POMC neurons have a wide synaptic connection with neurons both within and outside the hypothalamus, and their activity is controlled by a balance between excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs. Brain glucose-sensing plays...
