🚨 Exciting New Research Alert! 🚨 Our latest study, published in #NatureMetabolism, reveals how memory circuits in the brain drive intake of fats and sugars and impact body weight. 🍫🍟 Let’s break it down! 🧵

Delightful to share that the final piece from my PhD is finally out as a preprint 🥳

This is years of painstaking research with amazing team! Indeed, SCIENCE IS A TEAM SPORT!

Forever grateful to have @Bradfield_Neuro as my Supervisor. Best PhD Supervisor I could have asked for.

Hunger signalling in the olfactory bulb primes exploration, food-seeking and peripheral metabolism.

We deleted ghrelin receptors in the olfactory bulb and saw many interesting effects - see graphical abstract

@DrLizzieManning @sciencejuls Thanks Lizzie. Yes we got our protocol from the papers others are talking about here.

[Scofield Laboratory @ScofieldLab]

Having an awesome ISBRA meeting here in Melbourne. We had a really fun panel on neuronal and glial consequences of drug use. Many thanks to @ISBRAComm and @RobynBrownLab. Fantastic talks from @KateReissner, Xavier Maddern, and @morganjameslab,

[Robyn Brown @RobynBrownLab]

So excited to see this out! Huge congrats @garrondodd @beddows
Honoured to be part of this team 😍
