Columbia scientists find and manage to activate and deactivate in mice the neurons responsible for making the decision to ...

Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. Though many feeding circuits in the brain are known to play a role in monitoring food ...

Researchers at Stony Brook University used genetic manipulation in a laboratory brain model to demonstrate that neurosteroids ...

Researchers at Columbia University have discovered a unique group of neurons in the mouse brain that command the animal to ...

Researchers have identified a group of specialised neurons in the brainstem that regulate when to stop eating. These neurons ...

The neurons identified by the Columbia scientists, a new element of these circuits, are located in the brainstem, the oldest part of the vertebrate brain. Their discovery could lead to new treatments ...

This highlights a direct link between certain brain circuits involved in memory and metabolic health, which has been largely overlooked in the field of obesity research. "Memory systems in the ...

Neurons in the brains of mice tell them to stop eating when they’ve had enough food – and since people probably have the same ...
