科学家确定小鼠体内的脑神经元 有助于调节进食 可能导致新的肥胖治疗 Scientists identify brain neurons in mice that help regulate eating, potentially leading to new obesity treatments.

哥伦比亚大学的科学家发现了小鼠脑细胞中的神经元,通过整合食物摄取和营养吸收信号,帮助决定何时停止进食。 Scientists at Columbia University discovered neurons in the brainstem of mice that help decide when to stop eating by integrating signals about food intake and nutrient absorption. 这些神经元不同于其他控制胃口的神经元,可能导致新的肥胖治疗。 These neurons, distinct from others controlling appetite, could lead to new obesity treatments. 人类中可能存在类似的神经元,因为脑图结构在脊椎动物中是一致的。 Similar neurons may exist in humans, as the brainstem structure is consistent across vertebrates.
