Restaurants, billboards, commercials… what brain circuits link context to appetite? 🧠🌎🍽️
Very happy to finally share a major update in our work exploring the hippocampus and lateral septum in calibrating food consumption! 🍩
Major thanks to our lab and collaborators! ⭐️⭐️

A dorsal hippocampus-prodynorphinergic dorsolateral septum-to-lateral hypothalamus circuit mediates contextual gating of feeding
Goode et al. show that prodynorphin (Pdyn)-expressing neurons of the dorsolateral
septum (DLS) receive substantial dorsal hippocampal (DHPC) input and inhibit lateral
hypothalamic (LHA) GABAergic neur...
