Summary: The PVT plays a crucial role in controlling feeding behavior, adapting to the body's energy state and competing drives. It regulates both food foraging and consumption, balancing their expression.

Summary: This study evaluated the taste preferences of the herbivorous African cichlid fish Nile tilapia and found that 21 out of 38 substances were palatable to the fish. The attractiveness of amino acids was species-specific, not related to dietary requirements, and did not correlate with the palatability of sugars. The feeding behavior and orosensory evaluation patterns of Nile tilapia were characteristic and may be linked to their social lifestyle.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of copper deficiency on the partitioning of macro and micronutrients in leaves and stems of different ages. The results showed that leaf and stem age had significant effects on nutrient partitioning, with leaf nutrient partitioning being influenced more by copper feeding status and stem nutrient partitioning being influenced more by developmental stage.

Summary: Feeding behavior is important for animal health and welfare, and is influenced by the taste of available feed. This study found that spraying taste agents on alpine meadows can directly or indirectly affect the grazing behavior of yaks. These findings provide a theoretical basis for using taste agents to control livestock grazing behavior and mitigate grassland degradation in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of adding a virtual facilitator tool to an enhanced community conversation programme on infant and young child feeding practices in Ethiopia. While statistically non-significant, the intervention group showed positive changes in important nutritional practices.

Summary: Large variability in body composition is observed in pigs fed in similar conditions, part of which can be explained by feeding behavior. A new feeding behavior index was used to examine the relationship with body composition, showing irregular feeding behavior is associated with changes in protein and lipid proportions in body gain. Factors other than feeding behavior may also play a role in modulating body composition in finishing pigs.

Summary: Through studying fruit flies, we have found that multimodal sensory integration plays a role in feeding behavior, particularly the contributions of olfactory and mechanical inputs to taste-evoked feeding behavior. Controlled delivery of three different sensory cues can produce a supra-additive reflex. Fruit flies serve as a versatile model system for studying multisensory integration related to feeding, which likely also exists in vertebrates.

Summary: This study examined the effect of sucrose supplementation into maternal diets on the feeding behavior of post-weaning pigs. The results showed that pigs born from treated sows had a higher sucrose threshold and decreased intake of sucrose after weaning, indicating that the inclusion of sucrose in maternal diets may not be practical in pig production systems.

Summary: This study used fruit flies and found that brief exposure to sugar enhanced future feeding behavior, while bitter exposure suppressed it. This modulation relies on neural pathways distinct from others, and sensory neuron activity plays an important role during and after taste exposure.

Summary: The study aims to understand the differences in flavor of fresh milk between feeding patterns. Aroma profiles and taste attributes were assessed using electronic nose and electronic tongue, and volatile flavor compounds were characterized. Different volatile compounds were found in milk from indoor feeding and grazing, with grazing milk having more intense taste attributes. This study shows promise for using volatile organic compounds to track and monitor animal feeding systems.

Summary: A survey tool was developed and validated to assess RDN practices in identifying, diagnosing, and treating feeding dysfunction in children. Results showed a lack of standardized screening tools, varied feeding therapy strategies, and a tendency for RDNs to refer patients to other practitioners for treatment instead of providing therapy themselves. Standardized protocols are needed to improve care consistency and comprehensive treatment for pediatric population.

Summary: The study investigates how taste information is encoded at the cellular level to regulate consumption of sugars and amino acids using the Drosophila pharynx as a model. It reveals the critical role of pharyngeal neurons in sugar feeding preference and demonstrates functional integration and overlap among taste neurons. Furthermore, the study highlights the specialization of pharyngeal and external neurons in driving feeding behavior.

Summary: Supplemental feeding of woodland caribou has an incremental effect on population growth, especially in terms of increasing female survival. A combined approach of wolf reduction and feeding can lead to higher growth rates in caribou populations.

Summary: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a research project titled "Nutritional Health is not confined" was initiated in Spain to promote nutritional education based on the Mediterranean diet through social media. Preliminary findings suggest an improvement in overall mood and a reinforcement of healthy eating habits from the Mediterranean diet among the Spanish population during confinement. This study highlights the potential of social media in promoting healthy eating behaviors and suggests the importance of digital platforms in reaching and engaging with young adults for future research on nutrition.

Summary: Genomics research has primarily focused on humans and a limited number of species, resulting in a lack of understanding about the genomes of the majority of species. However, a broad view that encompasses the vast diversity of life is necessary to comprehend how genomes function and how genetic variation shapes phenotypes. Integrating comparative genomics with other fields is crucial for scientific discovery and the protection of ourselves and our world.
