Abstract:Associative learning guides feeding behavior in mammals in part by using cues that link location in 2 space to food availability. However, the elements of the top-down circuitry encoding the memory of the 3 location of food is largely unknown, as are the high-order processes that control satiety. Here we report 4 that hippocampal dopamine 2 receptor (D2R) neurons are specifically activated by food and that 5 modulation of their activity reduce food intake in mice. We also found that activation of these neurons… Show more
