Some unexpected findings about estrogen and feeding. Want to thank all people in the group, especially Chunmei who led the project and corresponded this manuscript. Very grateful for the help by our collaborators in France. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Social touch promotes interfemale communication via activation of parvocellular #oxytocin neurons go.nature.com/3jKD45V

How do MCH neurons increase food intake, and does sex matter? Our paper in Neuropharmacology @ELSneuroscience explores the neural pathways #nucleusaccumbens #DREADDs and sex hormone mechanism #estrogen. Congrats to Sarah et al! Emily Noble Clarissa Liu. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In our new paper in Hormones and Behavior, Clarissa Liu, Andrea Suarez, Emily Noble, and Mitch Roitman identify behavioral and central mechanisms through which #oxytocin signaling reduces responses to food-predictive cues, #dopamine, #vta, #photometry, sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So proud of the MRoitman team! Learn how thirst invigorates goal-directed behaviors in our new paper

Does early life Western diet consumption lead to long-lasting cognitive impairments during adulthood? See what Linda Tsan (USC Neuroscience Graduate Program), Léa DS, Emily Noble, and Scott Kanoski have to say about this in Frontiers - Neuroscience, frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

How do hungry animals find food or water? Our new paper highlights a ventral hippocampus to lateral septum that promotes spatial memory specifically in the context of foraging 🐁🍬💧

Sweet! Love the cover art by @cp_illustrates featuring our work in this month's Molecular Metabolism. Led by S.Chometton, we show that a glucokinase-linked sensor in taste cells contributes to the hedonic appeal of sugar. Article👇
