Outline of Annual Research Achievements

Over the last fiscal year, we have made significant progress in our understanding of the neural circuit from subiculum in hippocampus to arcuate nucleus in hypothalamus. Using a virus combination of CRE recombinase and FLP recombinase, we observed the labelling cells in the subiculum. We have also employed viral-based manipulation methods to investigate the role of this circuit in both feeding and learning components. Meanwhile, the behavior paradigm also confirmed that the internal state of animals (hunger or satiety) could be a context for adaptive behaviors. These findings have important implications for our understanding of neural circuits involved in feeding and learning and may pave the way for targeted therapies for related disorders.
