Neuropeptide Y neurons in the basolateral amygdala project to the nucleus accumbens and stimulate high-fat intake
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino acid neuropeptide that is widely expressed in the central nervous system, including in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), hypothalamus, and amygdala. The NAc involved in several behaviors, including reward, motivation processes, and feeding behavior. Here, we demonstrate...
