Abstract:

How animals maintain and switch between distinct motivational states is an important question in neuroscience. New work in Drosophila identifies an excitatory neuronal circuit that builds up mating drive while priming itself for satiety.

Regulation of Food Intake

2.2K
Short-term regulation of food intake primarily involves neural signals from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, blood nutrient levels, and GI tract hormones. Communication between the gut and brain via vagal nerve fibers plays a significant role in evaluating the contents of the gut. Clinical studies have shown that protein ingestion produces a more prolonged response in these nerve fibers compared to an equivalent amount of glucose. Additionally, the activation of stretch receptors caused by GI...
