Stimulation of Lateral Septum CRF2 Receptors Promotes Anorexia and Stress-Like Behaviors: Functional Homology to CRF1 Receptors in Basolateral Amygdala

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: The corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system is the primary central mediator of stress-like states, coordinating behavioral, endocrine, and autonomic responses to stress. Although induction of anorexia is a well documented effect of CRF receptor agonist administration, the central sites and behavioral processes underlying this phenomenon are poorly understood. The present studies addressed this question by examining the neuroanatomical, behavioral, and pharmacological mechanisms mediating decreases in feeding produced by the CRF
