The Role of Ghrelin in Regulating Synaptic Function and Plasticity of Feeding-Associated Circuits

Synaptic plasticity of the neuronal circuits associated with feeding behavior is regulated by peripheral signals as a response to changes in the energy status of the body. These signals include glucose, free fatty acids, leptin and ghrelin and are released into circulation, being able to reach the b...
