Objective: Cholecystokinin (CCK) plays a critical role in regulating eating and metabolism. Previous studies have mapped a multi-synapse neural pathway from the vagus nerve to the central nucleus of the amygdala (CEA) that mediates the anorexigenic effect of CCK. However, the neural circuit downstre...
