Abstract

Puberty onset in mammals requires adequate energy stores, but how hypothalamic neurons regulating reproduction obtain information on food availability is unclear. In this issue of Neuron, Goto et al.¹ show that hypothalamic neurons expressing agouti-related peptides, which are hunger sensors, control the maturation of kisspeptin neurons, the principal stimulators of reproduction.
