Thrilled our discovery of a novel sensory pathway controlling satiety in mice is featured in the General-Anzeiger @gabonn 🐭👃🍽️!

Kölner Studie: Geruch macht satt (zumindest Mäuse) ga.de/news/wissen-...
Mäuse schnuppern an Grapefruits und haben dann keinen Hunger mehr: Wie praktisch: Geruch kann satt machen
Kölner Wissenschaftler finden einen überraschenden Auslöser für Sättigungsgefühl – nämlich das Riechen. Ein neuer Weg zum Schlankwerden? Leider funktioniert es bis jetzt nur bei Mäusen.

Yummy, das riecht gut! 🥘 Essensduft aktiviert bestimmte Nervenzellen in #Gehirn, die das Hungergefühl verringern. Deshalb haben wir nach dem Kochen, oft keinen #Appetit mehr. Der erste #Heißhunger ist verflogen: youtu.be/HTPll7fLl3c #Ernährung
Sättigungsgefühl durch Gerüche: Kann man sich satt riechen und Heißhunger einfach wegriechen?

Ever wondered how smell affects how you eat? 👃🍽️
Check out this interview (in German) with my fantastic PhD student @janice-bulk.bsky.social on our latest paper! 🧠📄

Geruch von Essen kann Sättigung auslösen – neue Erkenntnisse
Essverhalten: Schon der Geruch von Essen kann das Sättigungsgefühl auslösen – zeigen Forschende am Max-Planck-Institut. Bei Übergewicht scheint dieser Mechanismus gestört zu sein.

PAPER ALERT!📣📣
Low brain glucose?
It’s not just neuron starvation.
Astrocytes sense, respond, and regulate synapses.
GLUT1 in astrocytes is a key player in protecting the brain from metabolic stress.

Astrocytic Glucose Sensing Drives Synaptic Depression under Metabolic Stress
<p>Glucose is the primary energy source for the brain, and its continuous supply is essential for neuronal function. Astrocytes play a pivotal role in brain energy metabolism by mediating glucose upta...
