In a groundbreaking study set to redefine neonatal nutritional strategies, researchers have shed new light on the crucial role of early parenteral lipid administration in supporting cerebellar neurometabolism among preterm infants at term-equivalent age. Published in the Journal of Perinatology in 2025, this pivotal research meticulously explores how tailored lipid intake can significantly influence the delicate neurodevelopmental processes during a critical window of brain growth.

Back-to-back studies map complementary hunger and satiety pathways, offering clues to refine weight-loss drugs.

Cell Symposium: Neurometabolism in Health and Disease

The Rutgers Center for NeuroMetabolism (CNM), a division of the Child Health Institute of New Jersey, is a world-renowned leader in researching the neurological aspects of metabolic health and disease...

The nervous system is a master regulator of physiological functions across different organs. The goal of the meeting is to provide an overview of the latest developments in the neural regulation and neural-organ interactions in health and disease that span a wide range of functions, including feeding and metabolism, energy homeostasis, and gut-brain/neuro-immune interactions in model systems and humans. The meeting will provide insights into the neural circuits and mechanisms, as well as genetics and lifestyle (e.g., nutrition), underlying and influencing these functions and will focus on the latest technological interventions and tools in research.
