The lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) is a subcortical brain region that exerts control over
motivated behavior, feeding, and energy balance across species. Recent single-cell …

Modern neuroscience is progressively elucidating that the classic view positing distinct brain
regions responsible for survival, emotion, and cognitive functions is outdated. The …

Western diet (WD) consumption during early life developmental periods is associated with
impaired memory function, particularly for hippocampus (HPC)-dependent processes. We …

Homeostatic, circadian and ultradian mechanisms play crucial roles in the regulation of
sleep. Evidence suggests that ratios of low-to-high frequency power in the …

Information seeking, such as standing on tiptoes to look around in humans, is observed
across animals and helps survival. Its rodent analog—unsupported rearing on hind legs …

Excessive consumption of palatable foods that are rich in fats and sugars has contributed to
the increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide. Similar to addictive drugs, such foods …

Feeding is necessary for survival but can be hindered by anxiety or fear, thus neural systems
that can regulate anxiety states are key to elucidating the expression of food-related …

This manuscript proposes that melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) in the medial preoptic
area (MPOA) is an neurochemical signal evolved to trigger the declining process of maternal …

Simple Summary Different culturing modes have adopted different living spaces, foods,
