Genetic variation affects binge feeding behavior in female inbred mouse strains

Abstract Identifying genetic variants that regulate binge eating (BE) is critical for understanding the factors that control this behavior and for the development of pharmacological treatment strategies. Although several studies have revealed specific genes capable of affecting BE behavior, less is...
