title: [Central regulation of feeding behavior].
abstract: Recent efforts in understanding the leptin signaling pathway led to the identification of the roles of many hypothalamic neuropeptides involved in the regulation of feeding behavior. Unveiling the connectomes of neurons that express these neuropeptides may shed light on the mechanisms that regulate an animal's feeding behavior.
