Abstract
- The synaptic basis underlying food intake is poorly understood. New research shows that an animal''s satiety state dictates the polarity of long-term inhibitory synaptic plasticity in the hypothalamus, which is mediated by an activity-dependent competition between endocannabinoid and nitric oxide signaling.
