Feeding behavior rarely occurs in direct response to metabolic deficit, yet the overwhelming majority of research on biology food intake control has focused basic and homeostatic neurobiological substrates. Most animals, including humans, have habitual feeding patterns which meals are consumed based learned and/or environmental factors. Here we illuminate a novel neural system regulating higher-order aspects through gut-derived hormone ghrelin communicates with ventral hippocampus (vHP)...
