Abstract
Administration of liraglutide is associated with reduced alcohol intake in rodent models.
- The study identifies a specific microcircuit in the lateral septum that involves GABAergic neurons.
- Liraglutide activates GLP-1 receptor-expressing neurons in this circuit.
- Inhibition of alcohol consumption was observed following systemic administration of liraglutide.
