Hunger is a complex physiological drive that affects mood and motivation of an organism to promote food consumption and restore energy balance. Agouti-related peptide (Agrp) neurons in the hypothalamus sense hunger and promote feeding, however when food is unavailable, Agrp neurons promote adaptive behaviours by reducing anxiety and increasing food-seeking. Thus Agrp neurons respond to environmental stimuli that convey information relevant to food seeking and food detection. Indeed, food detection and consumption suppresses Agrp neural activity assessed by fibre photometry. However, when forag
