Lip Sync: Gamma Rhythms Orchestrate Top-Down Control of Feeding Circuits

Cell Metab. 2017 Mar 7;25(3):497-498. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2017.02.017.

Abstract

Feeding involves the coordinated action of networks across many brain regions. New work recently published in Nature indicates that the prefrontal cortex, septum, and lateral hypothalamus circuits synchronize at gamma rhythms (30-90 Hz) to regulate feeding-related behaviors (Carus-Cadavieco et al., 2017).
