Excited to share new work from our lab showing, for the first time, a link between breathing dysregulation, stress responses, and energy metabolism via a neuropeptide receptor mechanism.
This opens new ways of understanding

Disruption of Pre-Bötzinger Complex neuropeptidergic tonality controls fear and metabolic response
Stress profoundly impacts systemic metabolism, yet the central circuits linking stress responses to peripheral metabolic regulation remain poorly defined. Here, we identify the preBötzinger complex (p...
