Abstract:The ability of animals to store and retrieve food caches in the wild requires the integration of biological signals of hunger, satiety and memory. The role of ghrelin in regulating feeding and memory makes ghrelin receptors an important target to shape the required cellular and molecular responses. We investigated the effects of the high ligand-independent activity of the ghrelin receptor on the physiology of excitatory synapses. Blocking this type of activity produced a decrease in the synaptic content of AMP… Show more
