The dorsal vagal complex (DVC) is a region in the brainstem comprised of an intricate network of specialized cells responsible for sensing and propagating many appetite-related cues. Understanding the dynamics controlling appetite requires deeply exploring the cell types and transitory states harbored in this brain site. We generated a multi-species DVC cell atlas using single-nuclei RNA-sequencing, by curating and harmonizing mouse and rat data, which includes >180,000 cells and 123 cell ide...
