When as little as five micrograms of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) are infused into the third ventricle of a rat, that rat will eat five times more than a normal amount of food over the subsequent two hours. An effective technique to confirm that leptin specifically acts upon NPY-containing neurons to depress feeding is to infuse

Congratulations to the research team at Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital and Department of Neurology, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO, for their publication in Journal of Neurochemistry. Their interesting project examined the sleep-promoting effect of alcohol and which neurons in the brain are involved in the process. Lesions of the basal forebrain cholinergic neurons
