Glucose is required for brain energy metabolism. Decerebration, aqueduct occlusion, and cannula mapping studies have established that glucose-sensing cells capable of eliciting feeding and adrenal medullary responses to glucoprivation are localized in the hindbrain. Glucoprivation also evokes corticosterone and glucagon

Circulating glucose levels significantly affect vagal neural activity, which is important in the regulation of pancreatic functions. Little is known about the mechanisms involved. This study investigates the neural pathways responsible for hypoglycemia-induced vagal efferent signaling to the pancreas and

Although several studies implicate small declines in blood glucose levels as stimulus for spontaneous meal initiation, no mechanism is known for how these dips might initiate feeding. To assess the role of ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) (arcuate plus ventromedial nucleus) glucosensing
