3. 2. Appetite-regulating peptides and natural rewards: emphasis on ghrelin and glucagon-like peptide-1

   Författare :Jesper Vestlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Reward; Gut-brain axis; Sexual behaviors; Skilled reach foraging;

   Sammanfattning : Evolutionary conserved natural behaviors, such as foraging and sexual behaviors, are strongly associated with reward processes. Brain areas important for reward processes include, but are not limited to, the nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell, the ventral tegmental area (VTA), the laterodorsal tegmental area (LDTg) and the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS).
