summaryThe brain and more particularly the hypothalamus play a critical role in the control of energy homeostasis in controlling feeding behavior and the activity of peripheral organs through humoral and nervous regulation systems. This control relies on neurons that are capable of integrating metabolic signals including hormones (e.g. leptin, insulin and ghrelin) and nutrients (i.e. glucose, fatty and amino acids). Among them, specialized glucose-sensing neurons are able to adapt their electrical activity in response to changes in glucose level.
