Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control ...

The hypothalamus is the main area in the brain controlling appetite. The arcuate nucleus (ARC) in the hypothalamus and area postrema in the brainstem have direct access to circulating hormones ...

Aging is a complex multiorgan process. Imai first became interested in the brain’s contributions more than a decade ago, when he identified a population of sirtuin-expressing neurons in the ...

Compared to sugar, consuming sucralose-a widely used sugar substitute-increases activity in the hypothalamus, a brain region that regulates appetite and body weight, according to a new USC study.

In what David Sinclair, who studies aging at Harvard Medical School and who was not involved in the work, calls a “Herculean effort,” the researchers “discovered that stem cells in the hypothalamus ..

sucralose increased hypothalamic blood flow and its functional connections with brain regions involved in motivation and somatosensory processing. POMC and AgRP neurons in hypothalamus were widely ...

Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. Featured in the February ...
