Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported inaccuracies in the sub-images of Fig. 5 and the Funding section. They have corrected these errors with the accurate sub-images from the correct version. These corrections do not alter the results or conclusions of their study.

The correct Fig. 5 and Funding are provided in this Correction.

The incorrect Fig. 5 is:

Fig. 5

Fig. 5 Regulation of CRH expression by Nesfatin-1. A, G Schematic representation of plasmid transfection. B, H Fluorescent images of N2a cells after 48 h of plasmid transfection. Scale bar = 500 μm. C, D, I, J Expression levels of Nesfatin-1 mRNA and protein in cells from each group. E, F, K, L Expression levels of CRH mRNA and protein in cells from each group. All data are shown as mean ± SEM, n = 4 in each group, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
