Hunger, satiety, and their vulnerabilities

The psychological states of hunger and satiety are crucial in modulating human food intake, significantly influenced by declarative learning and memory processes primarily localized in the medial temporal lobes (MTL). The MTL, particularly the hippocampus, is notably susceptible to damage, prompting an examination of its impact on hunger and satiety across various conditions. This includes […]

A high-fat diet promotes depression-like behavior in mice by suppressing hypothalamic PKA signaling (animal study)

This 2019 study aimed to investigate whether obesity is a causative factor for the development of depression and uncover the molecular pathway(s) that link these two disorders. A mechanism in which exposure to a high-fat diet (HFD) in mice could be linked to changes in hypothalamic function (that leads to depression) was identified – the […]
