The central nervous system (CNS) is crucial in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Apart from endocrine signaling and nutrient sensing, there is an important neuronal network that connects the CNS with peripheral metabolic processes. Many neuroanatomical studies have shown that the white adipose tissue (WAT) and the liver are innervated by the autonomic nervous system. For instance, there is evidence that, as the levels of various peripheral signals change, specific neuronal...
