The gut-brain vagal axis governs mesolimbic dopamine dynamics and reward events Open
Reward-related processes have traditionally been ascribed to neural circuits centered on the dopamine (DA) system. While exteroceptive stimuli, such as food and drugs of abuse, are well-established activators of DA-neuron activity, growing…

Cholesterol 24-hydroxylase overexpression in the dorsal striatum reduces relapse to cocaine-seeking Open
Sparse but converging evidence suggests that drug addiction is associated with alterations in the metabolism of cerebral cholesterol. Furthermore, in rats, administration of statins, inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis, reduces risks of re…

The vagus nerve serves as an interoceptive relay between the body and the brain. Despite its well-established role in feeding behaviors, energy metabolism, and cognitive functions, the intricate functional processes linking the vagus nerve…
