Neuroscience: Neurons that use a stress hormone increase eating

A neuropeptide called corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is known for stress signaling in the brain. A study now shows that a small population of CRH-expressing neurons situated in the lateral hypothalamus area are involved in sensing olfactory food cues and promoting food consumption in mice.
