Kölner Studie: Geruch macht satt (zumindest Mäuse) ga.de/news/wissen-...
Mäuse schnuppern an Grapefruits und haben dann keinen Hunger mehr: Wie praktisch: Geruch kann satt machen
Kölner Wissenschaftler finden einen überraschenden Auslöser für Sättigungsgefühl – nämlich das Riechen. Ein neuer Weg zum Schlankwerden? Leider funktioniert es bis jetzt nur bei Mäusen.

Congratulations to Professor Tiago Branco on receiving a @wellcometrust.bsky.social Discovery Award.
His lab will investigate how the brain sets sensitivity to threat, and how both genetics and experience shape this threshold.
