Exendin-4 (i.c.v.) can induce emesis, reduce food intake and cause “nausea” in the ferret. Brainstem c-Fos increased only with emesis but mid-/fore-brain counts increased irrespective. Brainstem and midbrain c-Fos levels only correlate with the occurrence of emesis induced by exendin-4. Midbrain and forebrain c-Fos levels correlate irrespective of emesis induction by exendin-4. Exendin-4-induced BIN and amygdala c-Fos are sensitive to exendin (9–39), but anorexia is not.
