A microanalysis of hunger-driven and palatability-driven feeding was carried out after
muscimol-mediated inactivation of two frontal regions in rats, the agranular/dysgranular …

BACKGROUND: There is much interest in exploring whether reward-driven feeding can
produce druglike plasticity in the brain. The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system in the …

Subregions within insular cortex and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) have been implicated
in eating disorders; however, the way these brain regions interact to produce dysfunctional …

Rationale Previous work has shown that stimulation of GABAergic, opioid, or dopaminergic
systems within the nucleus accumbens modulates food intake and food-seeking behavior …

Frontal cortical regions are activated by food-associated stimuli, and this activation appears
to be dysregulated in individuals with eating disorders. Nevertheless, frontal control of basic …

GABAA and GABAB receptor agonists stimulate feeding following microinjection into the
nucleus accumbens shell and ventral tegmental area, effects blocked selectively and …

Food intake is significantly increased following administration of μ-selective opioid agonists
into the ventral tegmental area (VTA) region acting through multiple local opioid receptor …

Intracerebroventricular injections of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and of the GABA-
transaminase inhibitor, ethanolamine-O-sulphate (EOS), decreased the food intake of freely …

Current studies raise the possibility that subregions within the amygdala may interact with
the mesocorticolimbic dopamine (DA) system to subserve specific psychological processes …

The hippocampus and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are traditionally associated with
regulating memory and executive function, respectively. The contribution of these brain …
