Amy Worth (University of Manchester, UK) demonstrated the GDF15 receptor, GFRAL, is located in a subset of cholecystokinin neurons, which span the area postrema and the nucleus tractus solitarius of the mouse. These populations are responsible for the conditioned taste and place aversions, in addition to the anorexia, GDF15 causes.
