Conclusion<br />
• Fasting induces the plasticity of brain<br />
barriers in hypothalamic feeding regions<br />
• Central neuroglucopenia triggers bloodhypothalamus<br />
barrier plasticity<br />
• Fasting-induced brain barrier plasticity<br />
requires VEGF-A expression in tanycytes<br />
• The tanycytic barrier modulates bloodborne<br />
signals access to CNS feeding<br />
circuits<br />
