Homeostatic and Hedonic Signals Differentially Regulate cFos Activation in PVN MC4R, PVN pro-TRH, PBN vGlut2, and PBN CRF Neuronal Populations

Background: The high worldwide prevalence of obesity, with palatable food hyperphagia as its main etiological factor, justifies studying neural circuit alterations under conditions such as chronic stress and exposure to high-energy diets, which elevate palatable food preference and body weight. Short-term intake of pal...
