Brain cells that curb overeating found diminished activity in mice on a high-fat diet

A team of researchers from the U.S., Sweden and the U.K. has found that certain brain cells involved in curbing overeating in mice became less active after the mice were fed a high-fat diet. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes their experiments with over-feeding test mice and what they learned. Stephanie Borgland, with the University of Calgary, has published a Perspective piece in the same journal issue outlining the work done by the team.
