How we remember meals influences how much we eat at later time points. This kind of memory likely comes from both the traditional brain areas associated with memory formation, and from areas associated with regulating appetite. How these two brain regions work together to help animals remember what they ate, where they found it, and whether they liked it is not known. This project investigates how these memories are formed and how they are used by animals to make decisions about future meals.

我们如何记住食物会影响我们在以后的时间点吃多少。这种记忆可能来自与记忆形成相关的传统大脑区域，以及与调节食欲相关的区域。这两个大脑区域如何协同工作来帮助动物记住它们吃了什么，在哪里找到的，以及它们是否喜欢这些食物，目前还不清楚。该项目研究了这些记忆是如何形成的，以及动物如何利用它们来决定未来的食物。
