Figure 9. Photo-stimulation of vGlut2^BF neuron cell bodies and vGlut2^BF lateral hypothalamic projections induces food-avoidance behavior.

(A) Example locomotor traces of the same channelrhodopsin and control GFP injected vGlut2-Cre animals under three different conditions for 30 min. (B) Quantification of percentage time spent by channelrhodopsin-expressing (left) or control mice (right) in non-food corner during 30 min of photo-stimulation. *p<0.05. **p<0.01, ****p<0.0001. Two-way RM ANOVA, post-hoc Tukey’s multiple comparison test, n = 6 animals. three males/3 females. Data are mean ± SEM.
