Postingestive Modulation of Food Seeking Depends on Vagus-Mediated Dopamine Neu...
Fernandes, Ana B.; Alves da Silva, Joaquim; Almeida, Joana; Cui, Guohong; Gerfen, Charles R.; Costa, Rui M.; Oliveira-Maia, Albino J.Postingestive nutrient sensing can induce food preferences. However, much less is known about the ability of postingestive signals to modulate food-seeking behaviors. Here we report a causal connection between postingestive sucrose sensing and vagus-mediated dopamine neuron activity in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), supporting food seeking. The activity of VTA dopamine neurons increases significantly after a...
