Thrilled to share our latest publication in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158…. This work reflects a fantastic collaboration—special thanks to David Baker and @TimothyPJenkins. Hoping it sparks attention to this neglected health issue and drives solutions in the years ahead!
In an interview with @Elmedicoint, Rockefeller's Svetlana Mojsov reflects on how her discovery of GLP-1 has helped millions manage diabetes and obesity, and on the importance of mentorship, collaboration and translation in science: wb.md/4o4jFOv
I am so thrilled to have been awarded the Kavli NSI Postdoctoral Fellowship to continue my research on the neural circuits of food intake control in the Friedman Lab! @KavliFoundation @RockefellerUniv
In this @NatureMedicine piece, Rockefeller's Jeffrey Friedman recalls the heady excitement when his group discovered leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite. nature.com/articles/s4159…
New paper on arousal in the brain! What controls the controller?
Today in @Nature, we share our latest paper. We developed an algorithm to predict novel peptides cleaved by proconvertases across all human tissues. Using this method, we identified BRP, a brain-derived anti-obesity peptide. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Wow! This is incredible: Resolving native GABAA receptor structures from the human brain nature.com/articles/s4158…
I’m excited to share my latest paper @CellMetabolism. @haganK and I recorded from AgRP neurons continuously for 1 month and found some exciting things during ad lib feeding, fasting and on circadian timescales cell.com/cell-metabolis…

Thrilled to share our paper online @Nature (on my birthday)! We've identified a new population of LepR neurons (BNC2) in the hypothalamus ARC that acutely suppresses appetite by directly inhibiting AGRP neurons, decoding the missing LepR GABAergic neurons. nature.com/articles/s4158…
I skimmed the source for this article, in @natureag by Mike Snyder's lab, and I don't find any of it even remotely credible. Tons of complex correlations that are probably meaningless or just chance. No, humans don't 'age dramatically in two bursts' theguardian.com/science/articl…
As promised, here is a detailed step by step protocol to build a low cost multi-fiber recording system and record brainwide activity from your favorite network. All credits go to a fantastic graduate student Bing Dai @Bing19128170. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
The first cellular map of a mammalian brain is here. 🧠✨ Over 6 years and 32 million cells in the making, the complete adult mouse brain cell-type atlas reveals astonishing diversity and regional specificity. Dive deeper: alleninstitute.org/scientists-unv… @nature #studyBRAIN #BICCN
Check out our preprint on a new method for anterograde tracing of neural circuits from genetically determined neurons. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… ATLAS mediates tracing that is non-toxic, monosynaptic, activity-dependent, and without any retrograde spread.
