Researchers conducted a population-based, longitudinal cohort study of data from adolescent participants in the IMAGEN Study, seeking to identify early associations with the development of eating disorders.
Prkar2a deficiency led to decreased habenular PKA enzymatic activity and impaired dendritic localization of PKA catalytic subunits in MHb neurons. Re-expression of Prkar2a in the Hb rescued this phenotype confirming differential roles for Prkar2a in regulating the drives for palatable foods and voluntary exercise.
The purpose of this study was to determine if the habenula integrates rewards with cognition and emotion in obesity and susceptibility to energy imbalance as it does in the case of substance abuse.
