An organism's survival can depend on its ability to recall and navigate to spatial locations
associated with rewards, such as food or a home. Accumulating research has revealed that …

During the past 30 yr, investigating the physiology of eating behaviors has generated a truly
vast literature. This is fueled in part by a dramatic increase in obesity and its comorbidities …

The underlying cell types mediating predisposition to obesity remain largely obscure. Here,
we integrated recently published single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from 727 …

The lateral septum (LS) is implicated as a hub that regulates a variety of affects, such as
reward, feeding, anxiety, fear, sociability, and memory. However, it remains unclear how the …

Only recently have more specific circuit-probing techniques become available to inform
previous reports implicating the rodent hippocampus in orexigenic appetitive processing …

Direct interactions between receptors at the neuronal surface have long been proposed to
tune signaling cascades and neuronal communication in health and disease. Yet, the lack of …

This paper reviews evidence demonstrating a bidirectional relationship between memory
and eating in humans and rodents. In humans, amnesia is associated with impaired …

The gut microbiota has the capacity to affect host appetite via intestinal satiety pathways, as
well as complex feeding behaviors. In this Review, we highlight recent evidence that the gut …

Obesity is a popular public health problem worldwide and is mainly caused by overeating,
but little is known about the impacts of synthetic chemicals on obesity. Herein, we evaluated …

The hormone leptin is known to robustly suppress food intake by acting upon the leptin
receptor (LepR) signaling system residing within the agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons …
