Description:
Article Insulin signals satiety after a meal; however, the rising incidence of obesity and chronic insulin elevation suggests that insulin may also signal reward. Here, Stouffer et al . show that insulin amplifies dopamine release in rodent striatum depending on diet, and that striatal insulin can influence food choice.
