Description
Summary:Continuous advances in neurological research techniques are enabling researchers to further understand the neural mechanisms that regulate energy balance. In this review, we specifically highlight key tools and techniques and explore how they have been applied to study the role of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus in feeding behaviors. Additionally, we provide a detailed discussion of the advantages and limitations associated with each methodology.
