Abstract
Food-seeking activity at a predictable time of the day is one of the fundamental 'opportunistic behaviors' for survival. The neural and molecular basis for such anticipatory activity is not clearly understood. However, a new report shows that, after several hours of fasting, liver-derived ketone bodies have a key role in this behavior.Entities:
