Overexpression of DeltaFosB in nucleus accumbens mimics the protective addiction phenotype, but not the protective depression phenotype of environmental enrichment (2014)

Front Behav Neurosci. 2014; 8: 297. Published online Aug 29, 2014. doi:  10.3389/fnbeh.2014.00297 PMCID: PMC4148937 Yafang Zhang,1 Elizabeth J. Crofton,1 Dingge Li,1 Mary Kay Lobo,2 Xiuzhen Fan,1 Eric J. Nestler,3 and Thomas A. Green1,* Abstract Environmental enrichment produces protective addiction and depression phenotypes in rats. ΔFosB is a transcription factor that regulates reward in the […]

Greater corticolimbic activation to high-calorie food cues after eating in obese vs. normal-weight adults (2012)

Appetite. 2012 Feb;58(1):303-12. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2011.10.014. Dimitropoulos A1, Tkach J, Ho A, Kennedy J. Abstract The goal of this research is to identify the neural response to rewarding food cues before and after eating in overweight/obese (OB) and normal-weight (NW) adults. Based on the previous literature, we expected greater differential activation to food cues vs. objects […]
