Article Synopsis
- Food cues can trigger physiological responses that influence how much we eat, affecting obesity risk.
- Researchers found that specific neurons producing corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in a brain area linked to feeding significantly boost appetite and food intake in mice.
- Methods like optogenetics showed that activating these CRH neurons increases eating, while inhibiting them reduces appetite, highlighting their important role in how we respond to food signals.
