Switerland is voting on a popular initiative to "ban all animal and human experiments". I've written a commentary for the ETH Zurich, vigorously supporting animal research in biomedicine. I also argue for less bureaucracy to aid scientific progress 😱. Yes. ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

Congratulations to my amazing colleague @ivana_p_maric for publishing this paper on sex and species differences in the development of diet-induced obesity and metabolic disturbances in rodents 🥳 👉🏻 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #dietinducedobesity #obesityresearch #sexdifferences

"A multidimensional coding architecture of the vagal interoceptive system" 🤩🤯 nature.com/articles/s4158…

If you're 35 or older and in the London area, we want your guts (well, images thereof, rather). Help us understand sex differences in the human GI tract. Retweets much appreciated!

This gem by my fantastic colleague JP Krieger is finally not a pre proof anymore: Neural pathway for gut feelings: vagal interoceptive feedback from the gastrointestinal tract is a critical modulator of anxiety-like behavior 😰🍽 Open access🔗: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I can't wait to dive into this one! It looks like an amazing resource for vagal research and beyond. Beautiful work!

Stomach-brain coherence exists in rats too and depends on the vagus nerve! A technical tour-de-force combining stomach EEG and MRI 👏 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New data! Maybe rat models will catch up to mouse models someday. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🆕Our article is now online in Molecular Metabolism 🎉!!! 👉We developed and characterized a new Glucagon-Cre rat model (yes, I said "rat"). Delighted to be part of this collaboration between bluesky @neurorinaman ´s lab and Skibicka Lab! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Job alert 🚨: The VAGALab at the University of Gothenburg 🇸🇪 is recruiting a PhD student!!! The project will focus on the neuroscience of gut🔁brain communication, how it controls eating and more! 👩‍🔬The lab: thevagalab.com 👉APPLY: shorturl.at/ltxN9 (PAR2023/33)

Why do we love cake and ice cream? My lab's latest paper in Cell Metabolism led by @molly_mcdougle identifies separate gut-reward circuits for fat and sugar. Foods combining fat and sugar recruit both reward circuits to increase motivation to overeating. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S15…
