Zhu and colleagues show that chronic activation of arcuate nucleus GABA+ neurons, agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons alone or non-AgRP GABA+ neurons promotes severe obesity, but only inhibition of all GABA+ neurons can reverse the obese phenotype of hyperphagic mice, thus suggesting a redundant role for arcuate GABA+ neurons in obesity.
