          “Meal Memory” Neurons Found to Curb Overeating

          Researchers have identified neurons in the hippocampus that store "meal memories," encoding both what and when food was consumed. These specialized memory traces, or meal engrams, form during pauses between bites, helping the brain log eating experiences.

          Scientists find gender-distinct circuit for depression

          A circuit-specific gender difference in ventral hippocamps to nucleus accumbens (vHPC-NAc) neurons is dependent on testosterone and causes more susceptibility to stress in females.

          Proof it’s possible to enhance or suppress memories

          Using optogenetics to stimulate different areas of the hippocampus has the ability to enhance or suppress memories in mice. The findings could have implications for suppressing memories associated with traumatic events in PTSD, and also in enhancing cognitive ability or improving memory for those with neurodegenerative diseases, in the future.

          Transplanting gut bacteria alters depression-related behavior, brain inflammation in rats

          The gut microbiome contributes to depression-like behaviors and inflammation in the ventral hippocampus, according to a new rat study. Fecal transplants from rats with lower levels of Clostridia reduced depressive behaviors and inflammation in vulnerable rodents.
