Overeating typically follows periods of energy deficit, but it is also sustained by highly palatable foods, even without metabolic demand. Dopamine D1 receptor-expressing medium spiny neurons (D1-MSNs) of the nucleus accumbens shell (NAcSh) project to the lateral hypothalamus (LH) to authorize feeding when inhibited. Whether plasticity at these synapses can affect food intake is unknown. Here, ex vivo electrophysiology recordings reveal that D1-MSN-to-LH inhibitory transmission is depressed in circumstances in which overeating is prom
