GABA receptor antagonism elicits feeding in the septohypothalamic nucleus
Our findings suggest that GABA<sub>A</sub> or GABA<sub>B</sub> receptor deactivation by antagonists elicited eating with a delayed effect and increased general arousal in rats. These findings collectively suggest that SHy neurons expressing GABA<sub>A</sub> and/or GABA<sub>B</sub> receptors are elements of a neurocircuit that participates in the regulation of feeding.
