Description

Jihao Ma and co-authors study brain activation during food anticipation in mice in work from 2023. Mice fed one meal a day at a fixed time become active before feeding, a behavior tied to the insular cortex and lateral hypothalamus.

The team tracked a marker of neuron activity in both regions over fifteen days of restricted feeding. Active neurons, including orexin neurons, grew in number day by day. The two regions peaked at different points in the schedule. The pattern suggests the regions play distinct roles in building the anticipation network.
