[proopiomelanocortin neurons] POMC neurons, which express POMC [proopiomelanocortin], are one of the key cell types that regulate feeding in response to hormones and nutrients, and these neurons are modulated rapidly even by the mere sight and smell of food (for overview see: Chen and Knight, 2016). POMC neurons, in contrast, are activated by energy surfeit, and their activity promotes fasting and weight loss (Aponte et al, 2011; Zhan etal, 2013).
