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.
