Why is obesity such a problem in the 21st century? The intersection of palatable food, cues and reward pathways, stress, and cognition
Abstract Changes in food composition and availability have contributed to the dramatic
increase in obesity over the past 30–40 years in developed and, increasingly, in developing …

Imaging recollection and familiarity in the medial temporal lobe: a three-component model
The medial temporal lobe (MTL) plays a crucial role in supporting memory for events, but the
functional organization of regions in the MTL remains controversial, especially regarding the …

Going beyond LTM in the MTL: a synthesis of neuropsychological and neuroimaging findings on the role of the medial temporal lobe in memory and perception
Studies in rats and non-human primates suggest that medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures
play a role in perceptual processing, with the hippocampus necessary for spatial …

Multiple anatomical systems embedded within the primate medial temporal lobe: implications for hippocampal function
JP Aggleton - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
A review of medial temporal lobe connections reveals three distinct groupings of
hippocampal efferents. These efferent systems and their putative memory functions are:(1) …

Gut vagal sensory signaling regulates hippocampus function through multi-order pathways
The vagus nerve is the primary means of neural communication between the gastrointestinal
(GI) tract and the brain. Vagally mediated GI signals activate the hippocampus (HPC), a …

Short exposure to a diet rich in both fat and sugar or sugar alone impairs place, but not object recognition memory in rats
High energy diets have been shown to impair cognition however, the rapidity of these
effects, and the dietary component/s responsible are currently unclear. We conducted two …

Short-term exposure to a diet high in fat and sugar, or liquid sugar, selectively impairs hippocampal-dependent memory, with differential impacts on inflammation
Chronic high-energy diets are known to induce obesity and impair memory; these changes
have been associated with inflammation in brain areas crucial for memory. In this study, we …

The role of recollection and familiarity in the functional differentiation of the medial temporal lobes
D Montaldi, AR Mayes - Hippocampus, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The components of the medial temporal lobes (MTL) receive different kinds of input. The
