Circadian regulation of hedonic appetite in mice by clocks in dopaminergic neurons of the VTA

Circadian regulation of hedonic appetite in mice by clocks in dopaminergic neurons of the VTA

In addition to promoting overconsumption, palatable diets dampen daily intake patterns, which further augments metabolic dysfunction. Here, the authors find that in mice, circadian clocks in dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area drive hedonic appetite rhythms.
