Honored to share that our paper is out today in Nature Neuroscience:

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We identify a hypothalamic-brainstem circuit linking internal states to locomotion: These projections drive safety-focused movement over competing behavior.

I had the pleasure to present our recent research at the wonderful University of Granada this week.

Thank you to @pranea.bsky.social for inviting me :)

Pablo Ranea-Robles @pranea.bsky.social · Feb 26

So happy of hosting @nkrauth.bsky.social in CIBM at the University of Granada, showing us exciting results of neural circuits of motor control

If you know someone interested in doing a PhD on metabolism there is still time to apply to La Caixa Inphinit PhD fellowships, to do a PhD in my lab at the University of Granada. We love research on peroxisomes :) lacaixafoundation.org/en/doctoral-...

Our new paper from @clemmensenc.bsky.social @metabolcenter.bsky.social is available online! I briefly summarize here our findings on the effects of short-term overfeeding in mice! We show real time energy expenditure data during and after overfeeding! diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/art... 🧵 (1/n)

Time-resolved effects of short-term overfeeding on energy balance in mice

To curb the obesity epidemic, it is imperative that we improve our understanding of the mechanisms controlling fat mass and body weight regulation. While g

I’m excited to share my latest paper
@cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social. HakanK and I recorded from AgRP neurons continuously for 1 month and found some exciting things during ad lib feeding, fasting and on circadian timescales www.cell.com/cell-metabol....

Acute and circadian feedforward regulation of agouti-related peptide hunger neurons

Douglass et al. employ long-term, continuous fiber photometry to uncover new modes of agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neuron regulation in ad libitum, fasted, and circadian conditions. AgRP neuron activity exhibits a circadian rhythm, which controls daily feeding patterns through a neural circuit from the suprachiasmatic nucleus via the dorsomedial hypothalamus.

I am happy to share the preprint of our latest study on lateral hypothalamic projections to the midbrain locomotor region PPN.
Our findings show that these projections not only induce locomotion but also prioritize safety over other essential needs:
