The paper develops a normative framework to distinguish need and motivation in hypothalamic neurons using computational models and experimental paradigms, showing AgRP and LHLepR neurons encode need and motivation respectively.

This paper describes a behavioral protocol to quantify food-seeking behaviors in mice by creating a food-hidden environment and measuring specific actions like navigation and digging.

This study identifies LHLepR neurons as key to food-seeking and evaluating behaviors, showing how hunger gates motivation through neural circuits.
