title: The House Alarm.
abstract: Campos et al. (2016) identify a role for CGRP neurons in the external lateral parabrachial nucleus in regulating meal size in response to vagal or hormonal stimuli. This area may also have a broader role as a "house alarm" that can alter ongoing behaviors in response to noxious visceral inputs.
