Research highlights 2025
Research highlights 2025: the year 2025 saw Max Planck scientists publishing exceptional research across disciplines. We have selected twelve highlights to share.
🤯🎉 Our study on how early exposure to fatty foods rewires the brain and influences obesity risk has been selected as one of the 12 Max Planck Society Research Highlights of 2025! 🧠✨ So proud to see our team’s work recognised at this level 😊

Fat sensory cues in early life program central response to food and obesity - Nature Metabolism
Non-nutritive sensory components of high-fat diet, such as bacon flavour, are sufficient to impair metabolic health in offspring in mice.
You are what you eat! Actually, you are also what your mother smelled during pregnancy!🤰

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.
