The anorexigenic peptide glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is secreted from gut
enteroendocrine cells and brain preproglucagon (PPG) neurons, which, respectively, define the …

Food is a powerful natural reinforcer that guides feeding decisions. The vagus nerve conveys
internal sensory information from the gut to the brain about nutritional value; however, the …

Background While the rewarding effects of alcohol contribute significantly to its addictive
potential, it is becoming increasingly appreciated that alcohol's aversive properties also play an …

Aim The tools that have been used to assess the function of the vagus nerve lack specificity.
This could explain discrepancies about the role of vagal gut‐brain signalling in long‐term …

Predicting the uncertainties of the ever‐changing environment provides a competitive
advantage for animals. The need to anticipate food sources has provided a strong evolutionary …

The vagus nerve conveys gastrointestinal cues to the brain to control eating behavior. In
obesity, vagally mediated gut-brain signaling is disrupted. Here, we show that the cocaine- and …

Food is a powerful natural reinforcer that guides feeding decisions. The vagus nerve conveys
internal sensory information from the gut to the brain about nutritional value; however, the …

We investigated the lateralization of gut-innervating vagal sensory neurons and their roles
in feeding behavior. Using genetic, anatomical, and behavioral analyses, we discovered a …

The hippocampus (HPC), traditionally known for its role in learning and memory, has emerged
as a controller of food intake. While prior studies primarily associated the HPC with food …

The high‐fat high‐sugar food environment has been implicated as a driver of the obesity
epidemic. Nodose ganglia (NG) neurons transmit post‐ingestive signals, including fat and …
