The central amygdala (CeA) consists of numerous genetically defined inhibitory neurons
that control defensive and appetitive behaviors including feeding. Transcriptomic signatures …

The complex behaviors underlying reward seeking and consumption are integral to
organism survival. The hypothalamus and mesolimbic dopamine system are key mediators …

Molecular and cellular processes in neurons are critical for sensing and responding to
energy deficit states, such as during weight-loss. Agouti related protein (AGRP)-expressing …

Background: Cues that are associated with the availability of food are known to trigger food
anticipatory activity (FAA). This activity is expressed as increased locomotor activity and …

The Central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) contains distinct populations of neurons that play
opposing roles in feeding. The circuit mechanism of how CeA neurons process information …

Background Cues predictive of food availability are powerful modulators of appetite as well
as food-seeking and ingestive behaviors. The neurobiological underpinnings of these …

Hypothalamic astrocytes are particularly affected by energy‐dense food consumption. How
the anatomical location of these glial cells and their spatial molecular distribution in the …

The neural circuits controlling feeding and emotional behaviors are intricately and
reciprocally connected. Recent technological developments, including cell type-specific …

Several lines of study have suggested that GABA in the hypothalamic feeding center plays a
role in promoting food intake. Recent studies revealed that not only NPY/AgRP neurons in …

Food cues serve as pivotal triggers for eliciting physiological responses that subsequently
influence food consumption. The magnitude of response induced by these cues stands as a …
