This is an exciting finding about an important question. Great work! The AHN is difficult to segment in human fMRI, but @dariaeajensen.bsky.social, et al. doi.org/10.1038/s414... made it work anyway. Here's to extending these findings to humans. Kudos!!

❓ Do you know what the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) does? No? Neither did we! 🧠

In a new preprint from the Cai Lab, learn how we discovered the AHN’s central role in regulating stress vulnerability.
