Popis: The Overeating Connection Obesity has become a major global health problem. Working in mice, Jennings et al. (p. 1517 ) identified an important brain circuit within the lateral hypothalamus that modulates food intake. The findings reveal the neuronal connections that drive the consumption of highly palatable food even when energy needs are satisfied. Inhibition of this circuit suppressed feeding.
