Researchers at Brown University and Cincinnati Children's found that suppressing opsin 3 in the brain of mice makes them eat less, raising new ...

This important study assessed the effects of food intake on sharp wave-ripples in the hippocampus of mice during subsequent sleep. Solid evidence supports the conclusion that sharp wave-ripples are ...

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

Researchers at Brown University and Cincinnati Children’s found that suppressing opsin 3 in the brain of mice makes them eat ...

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 ...

Sugar-responsive neurons encode and influence only sugar-related memories and intake. Disabling these neurons reduces sugar ...

Nerve cells called pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons were found to be responsible for post-feeding sugar consumption.

Scientists discovered years ago that the hypothalamus - which helps to manage body temperature, hunger, sex drive, sleep and more - includes neurons that express the protein opsin 3 (OPN3).

A new study has found intermittent fasting could slow, or even reverse, the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
