The nucleus accumbens (NAc) plays critical roles in eating and food seeking in rodents and humans. Diets high in fats and sugars (“junk food”) produce persistent increases in NAc function in male obesity‐prone rats. This study examines effects of junk food and junk food deprivation on NAc core medium spiny neuron (MSN) excitability and glutamate transmission in females.
