Reciprocal control of the stomach and intestine by viscerosensory neurons in caudal brainstem

Naz Dundar, Ilayda Alkislar, Brooke C. Jarvie, Ho Namkung, Kathryn Xie, Mahekdeep Kaur, Queenie Li, Anagh Sinha Ravi, Alejandro López, Antionette Spina, Longhui Qiu, Truong Ly, Jun Oh, Kevin Yackle, Zachary A. Knight

The paper shows that NPFF neurons in the caudal brainstem control gastric emptying and intestinal transit by responding to duodenal nutrient sensing.

Ingestion-activated CGRP neurons control learning but not satiety

Brooke C. Jarvie, Anagh Ravi, Rhea Nanavati, Ho Namkung, Longhui Qiu, Truong Ly, Jun Yeop Oh, Olivia Barnhill, Zachary A. Knight

The paper identifies two distinct CGRP neuron populations with different roles in post-ingestive learning, showing one is involved in learning about post-ingestive effects while not affecting food consumption.

Cellular coding of ingestion in the caudal brainstem

Truong Ly, Xinyang Yi, Grace Lee, James C. R. Grove, Youssef Sibih, Jun Yeop Oh, Longhui Qiu, Ho Namkung, Nilla Sivakumar, Zachary A. Knight

The paper investigates how food ingestion is encoded in the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract (cNTS) by comparing neural activity during gastric and oral food delivery in behaving animals.

Negative feedback control of hunger circuits by the taste of food

Tara J. Aitken, Truong Ly, Sarah Shehata, Nilla Sivakumar, Naymalis La Santa Medina, Lindsay A. Gray, Naz Dundar, Chris Barnes, Zachary A. Knight

This study shows that taste signals inhibit hunger-promoting AgRP neurons during eating, delaying satiety and increasing food intake when this inhibition is blocked.
