• Timing to perfection: the biology of central and peripheral circadian clocks. (2012, background): “In contrast to leptin, ghrelin administration in rodents stimulates the release of dopamine into the NAc via activation of its receptors in the VTA (Jerlhag et al., 2007), mimicking the process that is observed in humans (Malik et al., 2008).”
• The Representation of Information About Taste and Odor in the Orbitofrontal Cortex (2010, background): “Also, effects of the appetite-increasing hormone ghrelin on activations to the sight of food were found in the orbitofrontal cortex, insula, and many other areas including the pulvinar (Malik et al. 2008).”
• Reward Mechanisms in Obesity: New Insights and Future Directions (2011, background): “, 2001) was shown to potentiate the activation of hedonic systems in the brain in response to food cues (Malik et al., 2008).”
