This study investigates whether flavor-nutrient learning (FNL) predicts resistance to diet-induced obesity in rats, finding that stronger FNL responses are associated with less weight gain.

This study shows that early-life food insecurity in rats leads to memory impairments in adulthood, despite normal metabolic and behavioral outcomes.

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 AgRP neuron activity enhances flavor-nutrient associations in a sex-dependent manner and tracks these associations in real-time.
