processes related to food reward and food seeking via central nervous system signaling at
its receptor (GHSR1A). The specific nuclei mediating these effects are only partially
understood. Here, we use a rat model to examine whether ghrelin signaling in the ventral
subregion of the hippocampus (VHPC), a brain substrate of recent interest in energy
balance control, affects learned and motivational aspects of feeding behavior. METHODS …
