Yesterday, Marc Tittgemeyer was a guest on nano talk on 3sat. The topic of the programme: Essen mit Risiko - Eating with risk. The programme will be aired tomorrow evening – it's worth tuning in, so don't miss it. 📺

A nose smelling a spoonful of food
Lean mice that smell food before eating feel full; obese mice don’t. Why?
Research from @mpi-metabolism.bsky.social found a link between olfactory bulb nerve cells and the brain area that triggers satiety.
This could shed light on how humans react to smelling food: bit.ly/4nX4XZI

They mapped a sensory circuit where food odours activate medial septum glutamatergic neurons, limiting food intake before the first bite—and it's impaired in #obesity.

Newly identified group of nerve cells in the brain regulates bodyweight.
🧠 Nerve cells in the hypothalamus influence eating behavior and weight gain.
🍔 Nerve cells are controlled by the hormone leptin
💡 Potential to develop further targeted treatments for obesity
