I'm more than psyched to share that my PhD paper is now out in Neuron! It's also my first paper as both first author and corresponding author, which means even more to me!

Thank my partner Chi-Chieh for her contribution to the most adorable ever graphic abstract 🥰

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…

New in Neuron: “Feeding-induced olfactory cortex suppression reduces satiation” @CharitéBerlin researchers. This study reveals how the sense of smell controls meal ending & binge eating behavior. Read more: tinyurl.com/227dw782 #Neuroscience #Satiation #BingeEating @hunglo.bsky.social & colleagues

Feeding-induced olfactory cortex suppression reduces satiation

Lo et al. show that binge feeding suppresses piriform (olfactory) cortex activity, reducing the brain’s representation of food flavor. This suppression is driven by the olfactory tubercle and promotes...

Can mice estimate the distance to an odour source?
New work led by Cristina Marin and colleagues, jointly supervised by @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social at the @crick.ac.uk and myself.

Spoiler alert: Yes, they can!

Thanks for kind words Luke! 😄

Hung Lo 羅鴻 @hunglo.bsky.social · Aug 15

Finally, some personal updates, since this year I have started my postdoc with @lukesjulson.bsky.social at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, studying prefrontal dynamics in addiction models. Hopefully, soon I'll have something cool to show you all!

Hung Lo 羅鴻 @hunglo.bsky.social · Aug 15

Of course, I want to thank all authors that I haven't mentioned yet, thank you all so much!!

Special thanks to Walter Cañedo Riedel, Kelsch lab, and @russoel.bsky.social lab for their contribution, where they analyzed the functional connectivity between OT and aPC and showed the recruitment of OT –| aPC circuit, providing a crucial link between these 2 brain regions.

Hung Lo 羅鴻 @hunglo.bsky.social · Aug 15

In this version, we identified the missing link in the last version, a circuit mechanism of how the olfactory cortex (aPC) is suppressed during binge feeding. It turns out to be the GABAergic neurons in the olfactory tubercle (OT)! OT neurons project to aPC and are activated during binge feeding!

Hung Lo 羅鴻 @hunglo.bsky.social · Aug 15

Thanks again to all the authors, especially my PhD supervisors Friedrich Johenning and Dietmar Schmitz. Thanks to all 3 reviewers, it was a relief to read the reviewers’ comments were all positive and supporting publication!

The PhD project of the talented Mark Conway.

A learning-induced change in the sensitivity of olfactory receptor neurons enables consistent perception of an odor. #olfaction #neuroscience

Perceptual constancy for an odor is acquired through changes in primary sensory neurons

Learning-induced changes in primary sensory neurons support concentration-invariant perception of an odor.

I recently created this account and figured I should make an introductory post.

I'm a Ph.D. candidate interested in all things neuroscience, although primarily involved in systems and computational aspects of the brain for the moment. Looking to connect with the neuro folks in here! #neuroscience
