DREADDs: deconstrucing the "munchies"

A nice paper in Nature today using DREADD technology to identify cells in the hypothalamus presumably involved in marihuana-induced feeding (e.g. "munchies")

Floxed DREADD mice now available from JAX

Although we've not yet published anything on these JAX would like us to let all know the following which lists the mice as well as direct links to the JAXMice datasheets. --JR#0262 19   R26-LSL-G i -DREADD (Rosa-CAG-LSL-HA-hM 4Di -pta- mCitrine)   http://jaxmice.jax.org/strain/ 026219.html   --JR#0262 20   R26-LSL-G q -DREADD (Rosa-CAG-LSL-HA-hM 3Dq -pta- mCitrine)   http://jaxmice.jax.org/strain/ 026220.html   --JR#0262 61   R26-LSL-G s -DREADD (Rosa-CAG-LSL-HA- r M 3Ds -pta- mCitrine)   http://jaxmice.jax.org/strain/ 026261.html
