Drugs like Ozempic are great for weight loss, but they make some people feel sick. We discovered that the brain circuits mediating the appetite suppression are distinct from those that mediate nausea – a finding that may be leveraged to develop more selective GLP1-based drugs.

I feel hungry after just a few hours, but hibernating squirrels don't even after several months. This remarkable feat is possible due to reversible central hypothyroidism. A new study from the Gracheva lab by Sarah Mohr and Rafael Dai Prá rdcu.be/dNmeC

Many people experience nausea from next-gen obesity drugs. Scientists have now pinpointed the brain circuits responsible for this, finding that feeling sick is not necessary for weight loss. I wrote about the work by AmberAlhadeff et al for nature: nature.com/articles/d4158…

Lead author and postdoc superstar Kuei-Pin Huang will be on the academic job market this fall- any institute will be very lucky to recruit him as faculty!

The first social behavior of a mammal infant is to form a social bond with the mother. In this work, we found that somatostatin-expressing neurons in the ZI of preweaning mice respond to social interactions with their mother. Here's a video highlighting our main findings.

Marcelo Dietrich 马塞洛 & his team found the neurons encoding mother–baby bond in mice. Activating them when mum is away reduced baby mice' crying calls & stress hormones. “I see these neurons as the ‘I feel good with mommy’ neurons,” says Catherine Dulac Read more nature nature.com/articles/d4158…
