- This Project Grant award of $666,229 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) supports research on the role of the neuropeptide neurotensin (NTS) in the lateral nucleus accumbens (NACLat) to ventral tegmental area (VTA) pathway and its impact on hedonic feeding behavior. The project aims to study how NTS signaling in this neural pathway modulates reward-related feeding in mice, both on...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $502,233, was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate neuron populations in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) that mediate the aversive and non-aversive suppression of food intake. The research aims to further...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), provides $453,000 to East Carolina University to determine the role of FGFR1 signaling in agouti-related protein (AGRP) neurons for regulating metabolism.
