Inhibition in the lateral septum increases sucrose intake and decreases anorectic effects of stress
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sucrose-overeating rats with decreased anorectic response to stress showed lower stress-induced activation of c-fos expression in the lateral septum (LS). The present study tested a hypothesis that neuronal inhibition in the LS is important for the development and maintenance of the sucrose-overeating phenotype. Sucrose overeating was developed with weekly episodes of food restriction (21 h per day, 4 days per week) followed by 1-h access to sucrose. The anorectic effects of stress on 1-h sucrose intake were estimated using weekly foot shock stress sessions. The development of the sucrose-overeating phenotype was accompanied by a decrease in the anorectic effects of stress and by an increase in LS mRNA expression of a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesising enzyme, glutamic acid decarboxylase 67 in stressed rats. Direct recordings of neuronal firing in the LS in rats submitted to repeated weekly cycles of food restriction, sucrose refeeding and stress showed that the development of sucrose overeating increased the percentage of LS neurons inhibited during anticipation and at the start of clusters (CS) of sucrose licking. In addition, the CS-excited LS neurons showed a decrease in responsiveness to sucrose during the development of sucrose overeating. Direct injection of baclofen, an agonist of the GABAB receptor, into the LS decreased the anorectic effects of stress and increased sucrose intake. These results suggest that an increase in inhibitory effects in the LS is important for the development of sucrose overeating and the decreased anorectic effects of stress.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
