A psychological stressor conveyed by appetite-linked neurons

We report RNA sequencing of individual neurons producing corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which are the master regulators of blood levels of stress hormones. Analyses of individual transcriptomes reveal a large variety of neurotransmitter and neuromodulator receptors. Using the ligand information for different receptors expressed on CRHNs, we mapped the locations of upstream neurons expressing different ligands. Receptor assisted mapping of upstream neurons
