We have previously shown in non‐deprived rats that feeding of an unfamiliar palatable food
(Fonzies®) phasically stimulates in vivo dopamine (DA) transmission in the medial nucleus …

The nucleus accumbens (NAcc) mediates feeding reward; its activity reflects tastants'
hedonic value. NAcc dopamine guides immediate responses to reward, however, its …

Weight loss is known to alter food intake and drug self-administration, but the neural basis of
this is unknown. Therefore, we studied effects of weight loss on neurochemistry of a brain …

The neural circuitry mechanism that underlies dopaminergic (DA) control of innate feeding
behavior is largely uncharacterized. Here, we identified a subpopulation of DA neurons …

Mesolimbic dopamine plays a critical role in food-related reward processing and learning.
The literature focuses primarily on the nucleus accumbens as the key dopaminergic target in …

Dopamine (DA) signaling has been implicated in the control of energy balance and
ingestive behavior. In the present study, we sought to characterize body weight, body fat and …

Although the dopamine (DA) system has been shown to regulate food intake, the function of
the DA receptor subtypes on behavior still remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we …

Abstract INTRODUCTION: DOAMINE PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE ON THE CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM TO MODULATE FOOD INTAKE. THE DOPAMINE RECEPTORS ARE …

Objective Eating behavior in humans is influenced by variables other than just hunger‐
satiety including cognitive restraint, emotional distress, and sensitivity to food stimuli. We …
