It is becoming clearer how neurobiological mechanisms generate 'liking'and
'wanting'components of food reward. Mesocorticolimbic mechanisms that enhance …

The life of all animals is dominated by alternating feelings of hunger and satiety—the main
involuntary motivations for feeding-related behaviour. Gut bacteria depend fully on their host …

The brain responds to macronutrients via intricate mechanisms. We review how the brain's
neural systems implicated in homeostatic control of feeding and hedonic responses are …

Recent studies have implicated the hypocretin/orexinergic system in reward-seeking
behavior. Almorexant, a dual orexin/hypocretin R1 and R2 receptor antagonist, has proven …

Recent studies in zebrafish have shown that exposure to ethanol in tank water affects
various behaviors, including locomotion, anxiety and aggression, and produces changes in …

Neural systems involved in processing natural rewards and drugs of abuse overlap and
exposure to drugs of abuse induce neuroadaptations that can cause compulsive-like …

Overconsumption is a widely used term in science, media and among concerned
consumers. What do we mean by this term? This study is based on the assumption that both …

Background Primary polydipsia, characterized by excessive fluid intake, carries the risk of
water intoxication and hyponatremia, but treatment options are scarce. Glucagon-like …

Excessive dietary fat intake has extensive impacts on several physiological systems and can
lead to metabolic and nonmetabolic disease. In animal models of ingestion, exposure to a …

The prevalence of psychiatry disorders such as anxiety and depression has steadily
increased in recent years in the United States. This increased risk for anxiety and …
