Functional and Neurochemical Identification of Ghrelin Receptor (GHSR)-Expressing Cells of the Lateral Parabrachial Nucleus in Mice

The lateral parabrachial nucleus (lPBN), located in the pons, is a well-recognized anorexigenic center harboring, amongst others, the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-expressing neurons that play a key role.The receptor for the orexigenic hormone ghrelin (the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, GHSR) is also abundantly expressed in the lPBN
