Hippocampus contributions to food intake control: mnemonic, neuroanatomical, and endocrine mechanisms

TLDR
The data reviewed here support the perspective that neurons in multiple hippocampal subregions constitute an important neural substrate linking the external context, the internal context, and mnemonic and cognitive information to control both appetitive and ingestive behavior.

Leptin and the maintenance of elevated body weight.

TL;DR: It is possible that increased LEPR signalling may be increased (rather than impaired) in common obesity, suggesting that any obesity-associated defects in leptin action must result from lesions somewhere other than the initial LEPR signal.

The Emerging Science of Interoception: Sensing, Integrating, Interpreting, and Regulating Signals within the Self.

TL;DR: Interoception refers to the representation of the internal states of an organism, and includes the processes by which it senses, interprets, integrates, and regulates signals from within itself as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

GLP-1 and weight loss: unraveling the diverse neural circuitry.

TL;DR: In some of these nuclei [VTA, NAc, and vHP], GLP-1R activation reduces food intake and body weight without concomitant nausea responses, suggesting that targeting these specific pathways may be of particular interest for future obesity pharmacotherapy.

Gut vagal sensory signaling regulates hippocampus function through multi-order pathways

TL;DR: It is shown that selective GI vagal sensory/afferent ablation in rats impairs HPC-dependent episodic and spatial memory, effects associated with reduced HPC neurotrophic and neurogenesis markers, thereby identifying a previously unknown role for the gut–brain axis in memory control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Central nervous pathways of insulin action in the control of metabolism and food intake

TL;DR: Overall, current findings highlight the role of insulin action in the brain and its consequences on peripheral metabolism and cognition and improving central insulin action could represent a therapeutic option for people at an increased risk of developing metabolic and cognitive diseases.

Positional cloning of the mouse obese gene and its human homologue

TL;DR: The ob gene product may function as part of a signalling pathway from adipose tissue that acts to regulate the size of the body fat depot.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ghrelin is a growth-hormone-releasing acylated peptide from stomach.

TL;DR: The occurrence of ghrelin in both rat and human indicates that GH release from the pituitary may be regulated not only by hypothalamic GHRH, but also by ghrelIn, a peptide specifically releases GH both in vivo and in vitro.

Dopamine Receptors: From Structure to Function

TL;DR: Target deletion of several of these dopamine receptor genes in mice should provide valuable information about their physiological functions and provide unequivocal evidence for the involvement of one of these receptors in the etiology of various central nervous system disorders.

Are the Dorsal and Ventral Hippocampus Functionally Distinct Structures

TL;DR: Behavior, anatomical, and gene expression studies that together support a functional segmentation into three hippocampal compartments are reviewed, finding gene expression in the dorsal hippocampus correlates with cortical regions involved in information processing, while genes expressed in the ventral hippocampus correlate with regions involved with emotion and stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Physiology of Glucagon-like Peptide 1

TL;DR: The main actions of GLP-1 are to stimulate insulin secretion and to inhibit glucagon secretion, thereby contributing to limit postprandial glucose excursions and acts as an enterogastrone and part of the "ileal brake" mechanism.
