Abstract
Activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland (HPA) axis confers adaptations to homeostatic perturbations including food scarcity. A comprehensive new study by Douglass et al. disentangled how agouti-related peptide (AgRP)-expressing neurons of the arcuate nucleus (ARC) trigger rapid HPA-axis activation in response to fasting, which is mediated by repression of a tonic, inhibitory neuro circuit.
