This study identifies a neural circuit involving the ventral hippocampus and lateral septum that selectively mediates appetitive spatial memory for food or water locations.

This study shows that early life sugar consumption alters gut microbiota and impairs hippocampal-dependent memory in rats, with specific bacterial taxa linked to these effects.

This study shows that ghrelin signaling through vagal afferent neurons affects feeding, metabolism, and memory by targeting GHSR on these neurons.
