Internal-state-dependent control of feeding behavior via hippocampal ghrelin signaling

In addition to stimulating feeding, hunger is an internal state that serves as a contextual cue for higher-order regulation of anticipatory food-related behavior. The ability of the ventral hippocampus to distinguish between optimum behavior in diverse settings is essential, but it is unclear how internal factors, like hunger, affect the structure of the hippocampus. In […]

High-fat diet and aging interact to produce neuroinflammation and impair hippocampal- and amygdalar-dependent memory

While a diet high in saturated fat (HFD), consumed heavily by Americans, has been shown to sensitise the inflammatory response to a subsequent immune challenge in young adult rats, Spencer et al. (2017) remark that the inflammatory effect of HFD has not been assessed in the vulnerable aging brain. This is why this study, using […]
