ABSTRACT A reciprocal rhythmic pattern of 2 afferent hormonal signals, anorexigenic leptin
and orexigenic ghrelin, imparts rhythmicity to the neuropeptide Y (NPY) system, the final …

Using the rodent activity-based anorexia (ABA) model that mimics clinical features of
anorexia nervosa that include food restriction-induced hyperlocomotion, we found that …

Palatable food is rich in fat and/or sucrose. In this study we examined the long-term effects of
such diets on food intake, body weight, adiposity and circulating levels of the satiety peptide …

The learning and memory mechanisms in the hippocampus translate hormonal signals of
energy balance into behavioral outcomes involved in the regulation of food intake. As leptin …

Leptin administration potentiates the satiety response to signals such as cholecystokinin
(CCK), that are released from the gut during a meal. To investigate the physiological …

Food availability and quality in desert habitats are spatially and temporally unpredictable,
and animals face periods of food shortage. The golden spiny mouse (Acomys russatus) is an …

Background Memory and cognitive processes influence the amount of food consumed
during a meal, yet the neurobiological mechanisms mediating these effects are poorly …

Previous data suggests that the adiposity signal leptin reduces food intake in part by
enhancing sensitivity to short-term signals that promote meal termination, including …

Synaptic transmission controls brain activity and behaviors, including food intake. Leptin, an
adipocyte-derived hormone, acts on neurons located in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) …

Feeding provides substrate for energy metabolism, which is vital to the survival of every
living animal and therefore is subject to intense regulation by brain homeostatic and hedonic …
