Selected Publications


Nature Metabolism (2021): Untangling the central and peripheral GLP-1 signalling circuitry

Central and peripheral glucagon-like 1 (GLP-1) systems suppress eating via independent gut-brain circuits
Molecular Metabolism (2023): The gut-brain axis mediates bacterial driven modulation of reward signaling

High fat-type microbiota is sufficient to alter appetitive feeding behavior. Bacteria to reward communication is mediated by the vagus nerve.
Cell (2018): Neural Circuit for Gut-Induced Reward

The vagal gut-to-brain axis is an integral component of the neuronal reward pathway
Cell Metabolism (2024): Separate Gut-Brain Circuits for Fat and Sugar Reinforcement Combine to Promote Overeating

Combined activation of fat and sugar gut-brain circuits increases overeating and dopamine release
