This study identifies the claustrum's role in appetitive feeding by showing its neurons and circuitry reduce high-fat diet intake.

This study shows that triglycerides modulate D2R-neuron activity in the nucleus accumbens during appetitive behaviors, with effects dependent on metabolic state and diet.

This study shows that peripheral CB1R inhibition reduces food intake and improves metabolism in obese mice through both vagal-dependent brainstem activation and vagal-independent hypothalamic effects.

This study investigates how the gut-brain vagal axis influences mesolimbic dopamine dynamics and reward behaviors, challenging the traditional brain-centric view of reward processing.

This study investigates the role of the gut-brain vagal axis in hippocampal memory processes and finds it essential for long-term recognition memories and synaptic plasticity.
