Journal ArticleDOI

Neural Correlates of Food Addiction

TL;DR: Similar patterns of neural activation are implicated in addictive-like eating behavior and substance dependence: elevated activation in reward circuitry in response to food cues and reduced activation of inhibitory regions in responseto food intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estradiol-Induced Enhancement of Object Memory Consolidation Involves Hippocampal Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Activation and Membrane-Bound Estrogen Receptors

TL;DR: This study is the first to identify a specific molecular pathway by which E2 modulates memory and to demonstrate a novel role for membrane-bound ERs in mediating E2-induced improvements in hippocampal memory consolidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estradiol-Induced Object Memory Consolidation in Middle-Aged Female Mice Requires Dorsal Hippocampal Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase and Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Activation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that activation of dorsal hippocampal PI3K/Akt and ERK signaling pathways is necessary for E2 to enhance object recognition memory in middle-aged females and that the inability of E1 to activate these pathways may underlie its failure to enhancing object recognition in aged females.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estradiol-induced object recognition memory consolidation is dependent on activation of mTOR signaling in the dorsal hippocampus.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that activation of the dorsal hippocampal mTOR signaling pathway is necessary for E(2) to enhance object recognition memory consolidation and that E( 2)-induced mTOR activation is dependent on upstream activation of ERK and PI3K signaling.
