Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to stop eating. The findings ...

Columbia scientists have identified specialized brainstem neurons that tell mice when to stop eating. These cells integrate ...

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

Scientists have created the most detailed map to date of the human hypothalamus, a crucial brain region that regulates body weight, appetite, sleep ...

Stimulating this circuit suppresses appetite ... and in a mature brain, maintains brain health. When this signaling goes awry, obesity and metabolic disease develop. One theory, Rui notes, is ...

A high-resolution spatial map of the human hypothalamus makes it possible to identify specific cells, determine their exact ...

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 ...

Serotonin is primarily synthesized by neurons in the dorsal Raphe nucleus (DRN) in the midbrain. Serotonin neurons in the DRN project to numerous brain regions, including the arcuate of the ...

Genes in food-regulating brain circuits exhibited significant and long ... The HFD did not consistently lead to obesity, which excludes the potential role of obesity on impulse control.

Using Hypomap, they were able to learn more about the neurons and circuits that regulate appetite and food intake, and identify cells that respond to new classes of drugs for diabetes and obesity.
