Direct interoceptive input to the insular cortex shapes learned feeding behavior biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #biorxiv_neursci

Direct interoceptive input to the insular cortex shapes learned feeding behavior

The insular cortex (insula) is an interoceptive hub, which senses internal states such as hunger, thirst, pain, and emotions. Previous studies suggest that the insula directly senses internal states,...

Tanycyte Bmal1 sex-specifically regulates weight gain and hypothalamic neurogenesis in female mice biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #biorxiv_neursci

Tanycyte Bmal1 sex-specifically regulates weight gain and hypothalamic neurogenesis in female mice

The hypothalamic radial-glia-like tanycyte population plays important and intertwined roles in feeding and metabolism, reproduction, and seasonality. Although these processes are circadian-regulated...

The latest work from the Lammel lab is out today in @Nature! Discover how changes in neurotensin signaling from the NAc Lat to the VTA lead to food devaluation in a mouse model of obesity 🧀🐭 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Changes in neurotensin signalling drive hedonic devaluation in obesity

Nature - In mice, prolonged consumption of a high-fat diet decreases interest in calorie-rich foods as a result of reduced neurotensin expression and signalling, which uncouples hedonic feeding...
