This study shows that vagus nerve-mediated acetylcholine release in the dorsal hippocampus supports memory function, and its disruption contributes to obesity-induced cognitive impairments.

The paper identifies ventral hippocampus neurons that encode meal-related memories and shows their role in spatial memory and feeding behavior.

This study shows that a western diet during development impairs memory by disrupting hippocampal acetylcholine signaling, which can be partially reversed with pharmacological intervention.

This study identifies hypothalamic MCH neurons that integrate food-related appetitive and consummatory processes through physiological and behavioral responses.

This study identifies a neural circuit involving the ventral hippocampus and lateral septum that selectively mediates appetitive spatial memory for food or water locations.

This study shows that central oxytocin reduces food-seeking behavior and VTA dopamine responses to food cues in male rats, but not postingestive reward value encoding.

This study shows that MCH signaling in the nucleus accumbens shell promotes feeding in male rats but not females, with estradiol reducing this effect in females.
