The anterior insular cortex unilaterally controls feeding in response to aversive visceral stimuli in mice
Y. Wu, C. Chen, et al.
This groundbreaking study reveals how right-side anterior insular cortex (aIC) CamKII+ neurons respond to aversive visceral signals, influencing food intake in mice. The team, including Yu Wu and Changwan Chen, uncovers a neural circuit that plays a pivotal role in regulating feeding behavior, offering new insights into addressing reduced food intake in pathological conditions.
