BATON ROUGE – 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 ...

The brain is the body’s control center, with billions of neurons branching out in every direction to carry instructions to distant organs. These instructions tell muscles to contract, prompt the ...

A new study identifies, in mice, a critical communication pathway connecting the brain and the body's fat tissue in a feedback loop that appears central to energy production throughout the body. The ...

Brian Samuels, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Ophthalmology, has received a five-year, $1.5 million grant from the National Eye Institute to ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Leptin-deficient ob/ob mice eat voraciously, and their food intake is markedly reduced by leptin treatment. In order to identify potentially ...

Slowing down the dreaded aging process is something that everybody’s interested in, and now scientists have uncovered a new pathway to doing so. The team identified a feedback loop in the brain, and ...

Maintaining a stable body temperature is essential for survival. Animals, including humans, use both autonomic processes -- such as shivering or activating brown fat -- and behaviors -- such as ...

The results of a study in rodents carried out by scientists at Nagoya University suggest that a group of neurons, called EP3 neurons, in the preoptic area (POA) of the brain play a key role in ...
