Analgesia accompanying food consumption requires ingestion of hedonic foods.

12 Oct 2009 Animals eat rather than react to moderate pain. Here, we examined the behavioral, hedonic, and neural requirements for ingestion analgesia in ad libitum fed rats. Noxious heat-evoked withdrawals were similarly suppressed during self-initiated ... Read more...

Assessing the role of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor in motivational learning and food intake.

29 Sep 2009 The orexigenic neuropeptide ghrelin is an endogeneous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). This orexigen is expressed in both the periphery and in the central system, including portions of mesolimbic dopaminergic circuitry ... Read more...

Selective serotonin receptor stimulation of the medial nucleus accumbens causes differential effects on food intake and locomotion.

29 Sep 2009 Substantial evidence suggests that pharmacological manipulations of neural serotonin pathways influence ingestive behaviors. Despite the known role of the nucleus accumbens in directing appetitive and consummatory behavior, there has been little ... Read more...
