The #hypothalamus plays a large role in coordinating the array of neuronal signals that are responsible for keeping the body in a stable state.
A special issue of Science unpacks this key brain regionβs impact on physiological and behavioral homeostasis. scim.ag/4AG

We have an exciting opportunity for a PhD position in our lab @idibaps. Join our vibrant team and dive deep into the brain control of metabolism. Please note that the official link to apply will be released in September. So stay tuned! See below.
Just on time for a summer reading! Our new piece on metabolic and feeding adjustments during pregnancy is out @NatureRevEndo. Thanks to @RobertaHT for great contributions and discussions! @idibapsrdcu.be/dianw
Science confirms that being βhangryβ is a real phenomenon. In a study, hungry mice were less likely to engage in helpful behaviors, such as freeing another mouse stuck in a box, and hungry people gave to charity less frequently. In PNAS: ow.ly/485W50NHnWr
Our new work in DRN Vglut3 neurons further integrates this population into the broader feeding circuitry, and proposes a TRAP based molecular profiling strategy to uncover new pharmacological targets for drug modulation! Thanks to all who made it possible!
Saying no is not as costly as you expect.
11 studies: people overestimate the relationship and reputation risks of turning down requests. People generally don't hold it against you.
Declining doesn't mean you don't care. It means you're taking care not to overextend yourself.
