Glucose-responsive neurons of the paraventricular thalamus control sucrose-seeking behavior
2016
Feeding is controlled by hedonic cues that may override the homeostatic needs to eat, causing obesity. Labouebe et al. have identified hypoglycemia-activated neurons in the paraventricular thalamus that increase motivated sucrose-seeking behavior. As their activity is not suppressed by fructose or sweeteners, these cells may contribute to sugar overconsumption and diabetes.
