Neurobiology: How to ask a mouse if it's hungry

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleOtherpeer-review

Abstract

Neural circuits influence food intake by responding to interoceptive hunger cues and/or hedonic cues. A new study utilizes a hunger discrimination behavioural task combined with opto- and chemo-genetic manipulation to identify hunger and non-hunger sensing neural circuits driving food intake.
