Appetite-inducing accumbens manipulation activates hypothalamic orexin neurons and inhibits POMC neurons
Abstract
Corticolimbic circuits involving the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and ventral striatum determine the reward value of food and might play a role in environmentally induced obesity. Chemical manipulation of the nucleus accumbens shell (AcbSh) has been shown to elicit robust feeding and Fos expression in the hypothalamus and other brain areas of satiated rats. To determine the neurochemical phenotype of hypothalamic neurons receiving input from the AcbSh, we carried out c-Fos/peptide double-labeling immunohistochemistry in various hypothalamic areas known to contain feeding peptides, from rats that exhibited a significant feeding response after AcbSh microinjection of the GABA(A) agonist muscimol. In the perifornical area, a significantly higher percentage of orexin neurons expressed Fos after muscimol compared with saline injection. In contrast, Fos expression was not induced in melanin-concentrating hormone and cocaine-amphetamine-related transcript (CART) neurons. In the arcuate nucleus, Fos activation was significantly lower in neurons coexpressing CART and proopiomelanocortin, and there was a tendency for higher Fos expression in neuropeptide Y neurons. In the paraventricular nucleus, no significant activation of oxytocin and CART neurons was found. Thus AcbSh manipulation may elicit food intake through coordinated stimulation of hypothalamic neurons expressing orexigenic peptides and suppression of neurons expressing anorexigenic peptides. However, activation of many neurons not expressing these peptides suggests that additional peptides/transmitters in the lateral hypothalamus and accumbens projections to other brain areas might also be involved.

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.
