PAPER ALERT!📢  🧠What happens to the brain when glucose runs low? Does synaptic transmission collapse because neurons are starving? Or is there another, often-overlooked cell that senses the metabolic crisis and pulls the emergency brake? Let’s talk about astrocytes! 🤩🧵👇

New paper now live! 🧠🍬 Lots of us assumed that synaptic transmission decreases upon glucose shortage because of direct neuronal failure. But... Is that really the case? Spoiler alert: No! It's astrocytes guiding them all along the way! ⭐ aginganddisease.org/EN/10.14336/AD…

Smelling Food Activates Neurons That Curb Appetite in Lean Mice A direct connection from the nose to brain neurons are activated by the smell of food to trigger satiety in lean, but not in obese #mice @So_Steculorum @MPI_Metabolism #neurons #obesity hubs.li/Q03rLM5L0

My first first-author paper is live - this is amazing!! 🤩 Check it out in Nature Metabolism: nature.com/articles/s4225… I can't thank my co-authors and everyone who helped make this happen enough! @So_Steculorum @MPI_Metabolism

Exciting news from @So_Steculorum's Lab!🤓 👃🧠 Smelling food primes your brain for satiety. Find out more in 🧵 or under 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4225… Congrats to @So_Steculorum, first author @_janice_bulk_ and all contributing authors!

Hunger signalling in the olfactory bulb primes exploration, food-seeking and peripheral metabolism. We deleted ghrelin receptors in the olfactory bulb and saw many interesting effects - see graphical abstract @ZigmanLab @jeff_neuro @Stark_BrainSci sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
