Brain Systems Mediating Cue-Triggered Motivation

Adapted from Ferrario et al., J.NS, 2016

Rat brain

Adapted from Feder et al., 2008

Human brain

Glutamate = excites Dopamine = modulates

Outline:

Cue-triggered motivation is stronger in obesity susceptible rats before obesity.

  • Food-seeking
  • Approach

Effects of sugary, fatty “junk-foods”

“A-typical” CP-AMPA Receptors “Typical” AMPA Receptors

Very few in adult brain (~10%) Selectively blocked by NASPM Allow Ca2+ into cell (stronger excitation)

Glutamate Synapse Do CP-AMPARs mediate cue-triggered food-seeking?

Majority of AMPARs Allow Na+ into cell (excitation)

Work for Food Cue-triggered Approach Food Intake

Cue-triggered motivation is greater in obesity-prone females & varies with the cycle in obesity-prone, but not obesity-resistant rats.
