DESCRIPTION:Energy balance crucially depends on specialized brain circuits 
 that process signals from peripheral organs and the environment to control
  food intake and energy expenditure. Central to the body’s ability to limi
 t fat mass accumulation is the adipocyte-derived hormone leptin\, which ac
 ts on the major energy balance control circuits located in the hypothalamu
 s. Although it has long been known that several subtypes of neurons locate
 d primarily in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus respond to leptin\,
  precisely how and where circulating leptin is sensed is still unresolved.
  Our research aims to clarify mechanisms of leptin sensing. The long-term 
 goal of my lab is to clarify why some humans can maintain their body weigh
 ts strikingly constant over most of their adult lives while others are con
 fronted with gradual or abrupt increases in fat mass as they age. Our stud
 ies may thus provide new insight into the etiology of obesity and ultimate
 ly help to develop new strategies for the prevention and treatment of obes
 ity and obesity-related diseases.\n\nThis seminar will take place in-perso
 n and online ( details in attached poster below) . All are welcome\n
