particularly the lemnisco-cortical and corticocortical pathways carrying tactile signals via the cuneate nucleus, ventral posterior lateral (VPL) thalamus, and primary somatosensory (S1) and motor (M1 ...

Additional results show that the lateral hypothalamus (LHA) is a critical downstream substrate for vHP ghrelin ... We hypothesize the existence of a neural pathway whereby peripherally-derived ghrelin ...
