Your argument is invalid, as stimulation of Vglut2 terminals decreases feeding, and stimulation of Vgat terminals increases it (fig. 5 C

Figures 5E and 7D, G, and H are analysed using ANOVA (and then a post-hoc test). However, one of the prerequisites for ANOVA-based tests is that the samples (more precisely their populations) have…
Authors' response to the comment regarding the D/V coordinates used in our surgeries:1) All placements were histologically verified, and only those that targeted the VTA were included in our analyses..

Below is the list of VTA stereotaxic coordinates used in the paper, as reported in the Supplemental Information. The coordinates below are only those listed for the VTA, while coordinates for the LH…
Although our statistical results and conclusions were accurate as published, there were errors in the numbering of the axes for the open field plots...
My calculation of average velocity served simply to provide a reference for other comparable reports of mouse locomotor velocity. For example, the companion paper published in the same issue of Cell…
A major problem with this paper is that purports to identify a circuit for "compulsive" eating, but this is not a well-defined concept nor is it a term used by others in this field...
You are assuming that mice move in a constant velocity, they do not do that.Locomotion impairment is not measure by speed nor distant travel in a open field.
Figures S4.J, S4.L, S7.E, and S7.G use the y-axis of "Distance (m)" to show that mice moved appx. 2 meters per epoch. Given the epoch lengths of 5 minutes, this equates to velocity scores of appx...
