Another important purpose of the research visit to Brazil was to go to my former institution ICB @uspoficial.bsky.social to learn with Prof Karina Thieme epigenetic methodologies and have some valuable advices from my former supervisor Prof Jose Donato Jr. Thank you so much for the warm support!

🧠🍽️ A "hunger switch" in the nose? Smelling food activates a pathway from the olfactory bulb to medial septum glutamatergic neurons in mice, triggering anticipatory satiety: making them feel full before eating.
This circuit works in lean mice but is disrupted in obesity.

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.
