Another tour de force from the Tong lab!

[Qingchun Tong @the Tong lab @QingchunTong]

Excited to share our new study arguing for the existence of parallel neural pathways mediated by LepR or non-LepR neurons that each is sufficient to drive obesity. The obesity driven by non-LepR neurons is relevant to DIO and can be a novel neural basis for leptin resistance.
