A molecularly distinct subset of VMHERα neurons are necessary and sufficient to drive physical activity in female mice. Chemogenetic activation of VMHvl neurons increases energy expenditure via physical activity in females and requires ERα and TAC1 (left panel). In contrast, reducing the number of VMHERα,TAC1 neurons decreases physical activity and results in female-specific obesity (right panel)
