• A) Glial cells within the lateral hypothalamus are key for the control of eating.
• B) The changes in eating noted in the first study are due to fibers that are passing through the lateral hypothalamus.
• C) The changes in eating are due to damage to cell bodies within the lateral hypothalamus, and these act to initiate eating.
