Graphical representation of a sagittal section of the brainstem. Depicted areas are involved in processing taste- and gastric signals and energy-related peripheral signals (hormones and metabolites). AP = Area postrema, DVC = dorsal vagal complex, DMV = Dorsal motor vagus, NTS = nucleus of the solitary tract, PBN = Parabrachial nuclei. Locations of brain areas are based on Duvernoy’s Atlas of the human brain stem [62].
