Abstract Lipids are essential for neuron development and physiology1,2,3. Yet, the central hubs that coordinate lipid supply and demand in neurons remain unclear4. Here we show the presence and functional significance of neuronal lipid droplets (nLDs) in vivo using invertebrate and vertebrate models. We validate5 the presence of nLDs in vivo and demonstrate that triglyceride metabolism enzymes and LD-associated proteins control nLD formation through both canonical and recently discovered pathways6.

Abstract Interactions between orexin neurons and astrocytes in the lateral hypothalamus influence activity levels including circadian and motivated behaviour. These behaviors are disrupted by stress in rodents and form a hallmark of stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders. Here we set out to understand how stress influences activity and the underlying cellular mechanisms.
