Drinking and feeding are tightly coordinated homeostatic events and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) represents a possible node of neural integration for signals related to energy and fluid homeostasis. We used TRAP2;Ai14 and Fos labeling to visualize neurons in the PVH and median preoptic nucleus (MEPO) responding to both water deprivation and hunger. Moreover, we determined that structural and functional development of dehydration-sensitive inputs to the PVH from the MEPO precedes those of agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons, which convey hunger signals and are known to be developmentally programmed by nutrition. We also determined that osmotic hyperstimulation of neonatal mice led to enhanced AgRP inputs to the PVH in adulthood, as well as disruptions to ingestive behaviors during high-fat diet feeding and dehydration-anorexia. Thus, development of feeding circuits is impacted not only by nutritional signals, but also by early perturbations to fluid homeostasis with context-specific consequences for coordination of ingestive behavior.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
