Nature neurosci——中央部杏仁核Htr2a神经元促进摄食行为

Summary

1.CeAHtr2a neurons increase food consumption.

2.CeAHtr2a neurons are required for normal food consumption.

3.CeAHtr2a neurons increase in activity during food consumption.

4. CeAHtr2a-neuron activity is positively reinforcing and modulates reward consumption.

5. CeA neuronal modulators of feeding behavior form reciprocal inhibitory connections.

6. CeAHtr2a neuron inhibition of the PBN is rewarding and modulates consummatory behavior.

7. Inputs to CeAHtr2a neurons come from feeding-relevant brain regions.
