Sci Rep . 2020 Dec; 10(1):22093. PMID: 33328492
Food intake is a complex behavior regulated by discrete brain nuclei that integrate homeostatic nutritional requirements with the hedonic properties of food. Homeostatic feeding (i.e. titration of caloric intake), is...

J Mol Biol . 2020 Jul; 432(19):5287-5303. PMID: 32710982
Neuronal growth regulator 1 (NEGR1) and neurotrimin (NTM) are abundant cell-surface proteins found in the brain and form part of the IgLON (Immunoglobulin LSAMP, OBCAM, Neurotrimin) family. In humans, NEGR1...

Nutrients . 2019 Feb; 11(2). PMID: 30717427
Binge-eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder, characterized by rapid, recurrent overconsumption of highly palatable food in a short time frame. BED shares an overlapping behavioral phenotype with...

Kasper J, Smith A, Hommel J
Front Behav Neurosci . 2018 Nov; 12:271. PMID: 30483076
Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is characterized by repeated cycles of drug seeking and drug taking. Currently, there are no available pharmacotherapies to treat CUD, partially due to a lack of...
