Eating induced by perifornical cAMP is behaviorally selective and involves protein kinase activity

It has previously been shown that agents that increase endogenous cAMP elicit robust eating when injected into the perifornical hypothalamus (PFH) but not when injected into surrounding brain sites, suggesting that PFH cAMP may play a role in eating control.
