Abstract
Chemo- or radiotherapy against dividing cells in the brain can promote obesity. Djogo et al. (2016) suggest that the loss of NG2 glia and diminished leptin action in the median eminence underlie this response, likely due to the loss of dendrites originating in the adjacent arcuate nucleus.
