science explained
While communication from neuron to neuron through synapses and via the endocrine system are well known routes to spread news in the brain, researchers have found that there is still a third manner by which the brain sends messages. This manner is through the liquid in the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid, which was originally thought to be only important for waste management. Now it turns out this liquid can carry messenger molecules such as the neuropeptide MCH that signals hunger and reduces energy expenditure. This sort of signaling is very different as the synaptic “point-to-point” neuronal communication, as the message is able to reach essentially all parts of the brain, in this case to initiate eating.
