Toward a Wiring Diagram Understanding of Appetite Control
Open accessAbstract
Prior mouse genetic research has set the stage for a deep understanding of appetite regulation. This goal is now being realized through the use of recent technological advances, such as the ability to map connectivity between neurons, manipulate neural activity in real time, and measure neural activity during behavior. Indeed, major progress has been made with regards to meal-related gut control of appetite, arcuate nucleus-based hypothalamic circuits linking energy state to the motivational drive, hunger, and finally limbic and cognitive processes that bring about hunger-mediated increases in reward value and perception of food. Unexpected findings are also being made, for example, the rapid regulation of homeostatic neurons by cues that predict future food consumption. The aim of this review is to 1) to cover the major underpinnings of appetite regulation, 2) to describe recent advances resulting from the new technologies, and 3) to synthesize these findings into an updated view of appetite regulation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
