Loops paper! 💡
@hunglo.bsky.social, Friedrich Johenning & team show that during binge feeding, OT GABA neurons silence piriform cortex → flavors fade, fullness lags and eating continues!

Who knew smell circuits could fuel overeating? 🐭🧋

Feeding-induced olfactory cortex suppression reduces satiation

Binge feeding commonly leads to overeating. Experiencing flavor during food consumption contributes to satiation. Still, the interactions between flav…
