Food reward entrainment increases mealtime anxiety in goldfish via a ghrelin-dependent mechanism

Abstract Food anticipatory activity (FAA), the increase in locomotor activity prior to a scheduled feeding time, is linked not only to energy demands but also to food reward expectations. However, the mechanisms behind FAA remain unclear. We hypothesize that FAA induces anxiety due to reward anticip...
