Feedback signals arising from the oral cavity and upper gastrointestinal tract contribute to
the control of meal size. To assess how these signals are integrated at central sites involved …

We recently demonstrated that a meal induces c-fos immunoreactivity in the dorsal motor
nucleus of the vagus (DMV), the nucleus of the tractus solitarius (NTS), and the area …

Nutrients in the intestine inhibit food intake via an action on the vagal afferent pathway. The
aim of the present study was to use immunochemical detection of Fos protein-like …

c-Fos has been used as a marker for activity in the spinal cord following noxious somatic or
visceral stimulation. Although the viscera receive dual afferent innervation, distention of …

Expression of the proto-oncogene protein c-Fos was evaluated immunocytochemically in
individual brain cells as a marker of treatment-related neuronal activation following …

Duodenal infusions of macronutrients inhibit sham and normal feeding. Neural substrates of
this response were studied by infusing glucose, linoleic acid, an amino acid mixture, saline …

The present experiment investigated Fos-like immunoreactivity (FLI) in the nucleus of the
solitary tract (NST) after intraoral infusions of 0.1 M citric acid, 0.3 M NaCl, and 0.3–30 mM …

We tested the hypothesis that intrinsic neurons of the rat gastric myenteric plexus can be
activated by an acid (HCl) challenge of the mucosa. Activated neurons were visualized by …

The distribution and chemical phenotypes of hindbrain neurons that are activated in rats
after food ingestion were examined. Rats were anesthetized and perfused with fixative 30 …

A group of neurons in the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) processes
preproglucagon to glucagon-like peptides (GLP)-1 and-2, peptides that inhibit food intake …
