Congratulations to Timo Müller on receiving the the 58th Minkowski Prize Lecture Award at #EASD2023 Deutsches Zentrum für Diabetesforschung (DZD) #HamburgHall for his groundbreaking #research on energy & #glucose #metabolism regulation via GIP and GIPR:GLP-1R co-agonists. 💡👏

Brainstem is mainly associated with satiety while hunger signals are thought to act through hypothalamus. We describe NTS->PVN pathway activated by hunger signals & promotes feeding in part by adrenergic potentiation of GABA release onto PVN:MC4R neurons.+ nature.com/articles/s4146…

First lab research paper! We explored insula's activity patterns (the infamous "manifold"). We found very consistent manifold structure and dynamics, allowing decoding across different mice and different motivations. Check it out, feedback welcome! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very exciting meeting in Manchester in September, come along! Abstract registration is open until 15th July physoc.org/events/breakth…

Scientists have shown that activating neurons that promote hunger or satiety can mimic the immunoregulatory effects of fasting or feeding in mice, respectively. Learn more in Science Immunology: scim.ag/3E8tmt6
