Background
When stimulated AgRP neurons release AgRP, this appetitve feeling is induced?
What is hunger?
These three states the mice were in were used to establish the presence of context-induced feeding
What are fed, fasted, and fed with ghrelin?
CIF was found to exist in context A compared to context B in this mouse condition
What is fasted state?
Context induced feeding
What is hunger triggered by contextual or environmental cues associated with eating?
This technique allowed the researchers to investigate CIF under a fed-state by stimulating feelings of hunger in a less temporally controlled manner.
What is DREADD/chemogenetics?
Under this AgRP activation control technique, a significant feeding response was initiated, but training did not induce CIF
Chemogenetics
A function of the hippocampus that is deeply associated with hunger
What is memory?
This technique allows for rapid shifts in AgRP control.
What is optogenetics?
What is food?
