Description
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the direct and relayed neural circuits that delver gastrointestinal sensory signals to the hypothalamus, and appreciate the postnatal development of these pathways in rats.
Explain how anatomical maturation of hindbrain-hypothalamic neural circuits contributes to the postnatal emergence of mature physiological and behavioral responses to gastrointestinal and other visceral stimuli that affect food intake.
