Research Abstract |
We investigated how neurons in the area postrema known as a chemoreceptor trigger zone are related to the induction of nausea and/or emesis and to the control of food intake. We found that the neurons expressing H channels are closely related to the induction of nausea but they do not respond to amylin that is known as a satiety peptide. Responses to amylin were found only in the neurons not expressing H channels. We concluded that these date suggested the presence of functional differentiation between the neurons expressing H channels and the neurons not expressing H channels.
