科学家发现小鼠体内有神经元 表示完全性 可能导致新的肥胖症治疗 Scientists discover neurons in mice that signal fullness, potentially leading to new obesity treatments.

哥伦比亚大学的研究人员在小鼠的脑图中发现了专业的神经元,通过整合食物摄入信息,这些神经元标志着何时停止进食。 Researchers at Columbia University have found specialized neurons in mice's brainstems that signal when to stop eating by integrating information about food intake. 利用光来激活这些神经元 导致小鼠吃得较少 这表明了在调节食欲方面的作用 Using light to activate these neurons caused the mice to eat less, suggesting a role in regulating appetite. 由于脊椎动物拥有类似的脑细胞结构,人类可能具有类似的神经元,这可能导致新的肥胖治疗。 As vertebrates share similar brainstem structures, humans likely have similar neurons, which could lead to new obesity treatments.
