🤩I’m beyond excited to finally share our paper! 🎉 It’s been a long journey and a true team effort. Congratulations to our outstanding first authors, @LCReimon and Ayden Gouveia, and to all of the co-authors who made this possible 🙌! nature.com/articles/s42255-0…

Fat sensory cues in early life program central response to food and obesity

Nature Metabolism - Non-nutritive sensory components of high-fat diet, such as bacon flavour, are sufficient to impair metabolic health in offspring in mice.

Thrilled our discovery of a novel sensory pathway controlling satiety in mice is featured in the General-Anzeiger @gabonn 🐭👃🍽️! 👇 Kölner Studie: Geruch macht satt (zumindest Mäuse) ga.de/news/wissen-und-bildun…

Mäuse schnuppern an Grapefruits und haben dann keinen Hunger mehr: Wie praktisch: Geruch kann satt...

Kölner Wissenschaftler finden einen überraschenden Auslöser für Sättigungsgefühl – nämlich das Riechen. Ein neuer Weg zum Schlankwerden? Leider funktioniert es bis jetzt nur bei Mäusen.

I'm psyched to share that my PhD paper is now out in @NeuroCellPress ! It's also my first paper as both first author and corresponding author, which means even more to me! 🥳 Thank my partner @ChiChiehLee_tw for her contribution to the most adorable ever graphic abstract 🥰

Storytime! Please RT/share! I am hyped to share that my PhD work is now preprinted (also my 1st-1st author paper). It was quite a journey! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… It’s a story about binge eating and flavor, a short thread here: 1/n

Binge Feeding Promotes Appetite via Modulating Olfactory Flavor Representation

Binge eating commonly leads to overeating ([1][1]; [2][2]; [3][3]; [4][4]), but the exact mechanism is unclear. While it is known that experiencing flavor contributes to satiety, the interactions...

In our first study incorporating human data we identified new role for the cerebellum! We found a cerebellar output circuit that is activated only when individuals are hungry and helps control meal size. Even more parts of the brain regulate hunger and satiety!

Yummy, das riecht gut! 🥘 Essensduft aktiviert bestimmte Nervenzellen in #Gehirn, die das Hungergefühl verringern. Deshalb haben wir nach dem Kochen, oft keinen #Appetit mehr. Der erste #Heißhunger ist verflogen: youtu.be/HTPll7fLl3c #Ernährung @DoktorWhatson

Sättigungsgefühl durch Gerüche: Kann man sich satt riechen und Heißhunger einfach wegriechen?

Der Geruch von Nahrung aktiviert bei Mäusen bestimmte Nervenzellen ...

Ever wondered how smell affects how you eat? 👃🍽️ Check out this interview (in German) with my fantastic PhD student @_janice_bulk_ about our latest paper! 🧠📄 #ProudPI #Olfaction #Feeding #Neuroscience 👇 swr.de/leben/gesundheit/essv…

Geruch von Essen kann Sättigung auslösen – neue Erkenntnisse

Essverhalten: Schon der Geruch von Essen kann das Sättigungsgefühl auslösen – zeigen Forschende am Max-Planck-Institut. Bei Übergewicht scheint dieser Mechanismus gestört zu sein.

PAPER ALERT!📢  🧠What happens to the brain when glucose runs low? Does synaptic transmission collapse because neurons are starving? Or is there another, often-overlooked cell that senses the metabolic crisis and pulls the emergency brake? Let’s talk about astrocytes! 🤩🧵👇

New paper now live! 🧠🍬 Lots of us assumed that synaptic transmission decreases upon glucose shortage because of direct neuronal failure. But... Is that really the case? Spoiler alert: No! It's astrocytes guiding them all along the way! ⭐ aginganddisease.org/EN/10.14…

Astrocytic Glucose Sensing Drives Synaptic Depression under Metabolic Stress

Glucose is the primary energy source for the brain, and its continuous supply is essential for neuronal function. Astrocytes play a pivotal role in brain energy metabolism by mediating glucose...

My first first-author paper is live - this is amazing!! 🤩 Check it out in Nature Metabolism: nature.com/articles/s42255-0… I can't thank my co-authors and everyone who helped make this happen enough! @So_Steculorum @MPI_Metabolism

A food-sensitive olfactory circuit drives anticipatory satiety

Nature Metabolism - The authors describe a sensory circuit involving the medial septum (MS), where MS glutamatergic neurons integrate food odours to prime satiety and regulate nutrient intake.
