Sagittal view of a murine brain depicting select nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS|GLP‐1 projections discussed within the review. Endogenous GLP‐1 (left) and GLP‐1 receptor analogues (GLP‐1As) (right) act on a variety of brain regions. Abbreviations: AMG, amygdala; ARC, arcuate nucleus; BNST, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; DMH, dorsomedial hypothalamus, DMV, dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus; GLP‐1, glucagon like peptide 1; GLP‐1RAs, GLP‐1 receptor agonists; NAc, nucleus accumbens; NTS, nucleus tractus solitarius; PBN, parabrachial nucleus; PVH, paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus; VLM, ventrolateral medulla and VTA, ventral tegmental area
