Melanin-Concentrating Hormone-Dependent Control of Feeding: When Volume Matters
Abstract
In contrast to synaptic transmission, the mechanism of volume transmission-in which neurotransmitters or neuropeptides diffuse to many effector cells-is not extensively investigated, although it represents an important mode of neuronal communication. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Noble et al. (2018) demonstrate how the orexigenic melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) controls feeding behavior through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume transmission.
