Edinger-Westphal Urocortin-1 neurons regulate consumption and affect
Bluett et al. generate a UcnCre mouse line, showing that Edinger-Westphal Urocortin-1
neuron activity exhibits a biphasic pattern during hedonic consumption and increases
during active coping. The act...

Encoding the glucose identity by discrete hypothalamic neurons via the gut-brain axis
Animals need daily intakes of three macronutrients: sugar, protein, and fat. Under fasted conditions, however, animals prioritize sugar as a primary s…

Ventral hippocampus neurons encode meal-related memory
Nature Communications - The ability to encode and recall information about food is critical for survival. We reveal that ventral hippocampus projections to the lateral hypothalamus encode...

Hi Bluesky! I'm a physiology-focused researcher based in Kyoto, Japan 🇯🇵.
Here I’ll post:
– preprints and papers (including mine)
– papers I find insightful
– thoughts on integrative physiology
