## Abstract An imbalance of excitatory and inhibitory functions has been shown to contribute to numerous pathological disorders. Accumulating evidence supports the idea that a change in hypothalamic γ‐aminobutyic acid (GABA)‐ergic inhibitory and glutamatergic excitatory synaptic functions contribut
