A study published in Science Signaling on the neural circuitry mediating addiction has made significant strides, particularly in understanding the intricat | Neuroscience ...

This important study shows that the activity of hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons (HONs) correlates with body movement over multiple behaviors. Sophisticated techniques and analyses showcase this ...

Sugar-responsive neurons encode and influence only sugar-related memories and intake. Disabling these neurons reduces sugar consumption and prevents weight gain in mice.

Previous studies conducted by the FAU Quan Laboratory, reveal that chronic IL-1 signaling in glutamatergic neurons influences cognitive and social-avoidance behaviors, particularly in the context ...

Comparatively, chemogenetic induction of glutamatergic HPC neurons led to inhibition of food intake for 24 hours. Impaired HPC function can also increase the risk of obesity. Although the role of ...

With regard to understanding the disease process in AD, it is of considerable interest to consider the temporal relationship between the loss of cholinergic and glutamatergic neurons. Biochemical ...
