Genetic Identification of Dopamine Neurons Required for Circadian Food Anticipatory Activity in Mice

Andrew P. Villa, Jacqueline R. Trzeciak, Damien Wolfe…·Andrew D. Steele

The paper identifies a specific dopamine neuron population in mice required for anticipatory locomotion during food anticipation, showing genetic dissociation of behavioral components.

Mice hypomorphic for Pitx3 define a minimal dopamine neuron population sufficient for entraining behavior and metabolism to scheduled feeding

Lori L. Scarpa, Brad Wanken, Marten P. Smidt…·Andrew D. Steele

The paper confirms that Pitx3ak mice do not entrain behavioral and metabolic rhythms to light-dark cycles but can entrain to feeding schedules, suggesting a minimal dopamine neuron population is sufficient for food entrainment.
