And Justin Sung & @danasmall.bsky.social argue that the pleasure of eating food is not a driver of the obesity epidemic, but rather the regular consumption of an unhealthy diet blunts sensitivity to interoceptive signals that drive food reward #neurosky 🧪

In their Perspective, @danlikesbrains.bsky.social &co highlight why establishing both mechanistic insight and construct validity will be critical prerequisites for developing effective body-based health interventions #neurosky 🧪

A day in the life of a brain. This study develops a pipeline to infer molecular properties of c-FOS-labelled active #neurons and analyze the networks they form. The authors use this pipeline to characterize #brain activity over the course of a day @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3JZa0to

Is overeating driven by hedonism? @danasmall.bsky.social &co argue that the pleasure of eating food is not a driver of the #obesity epidemic, but rather the regular consumption of an unhealthy diet blunts sensitivity to interoceptive signals that drive food reward #neurosky 🧪

The hypothalamic #melanocortin circuit is crucial for regulating energy balance, but how does it arise? @sebastienbouret.bsky.social &co show in mice that early postnatal activity & vesicle release from #oxytocin neurons are critical for proper circuit development @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/49ifiKW

How do internal bodily rhythms influence #brain activity & motor function? @tahnee-engelen.bsky.social &co show that #cardiac, #respiratory & #gastric rhythms independently modulate motor excitability, revealing distinct #interoceptive profiles across individuals @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nMtpLT

Gut microbes can influence #aging, but can this effect be chemically induced?

#Regeneration in #planarians needs new tissue axes to align with existing body axes, coordinated by the dorsal-ventral boundary (DVB). Study shows the DVB is also needed for A-P axis patterning, enabling ectopic head formation independently of the anterior pole @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nJX48t
