Oxytocin isn’t just the “love hormone”: it helps wire the brain’s metabolic circuits! 🧠
In our new @PLOSBiology study, we show that OT neurons guide the postnatal development of POMC and AgRP pathways that control energy balance https://t.co/i6zdV1n2K5
New collab with the Campbell @AUGCsoup lab just dropped. Addison @addisonwebster0 used RAMPANT to identify a Glp1r-expressing input to AgRP neurons that Jordan @jordanjosbecker showed responds to liraglutide and suppresses appetite via AgRP connectivity https://t.co/fMw4GxXr7a
New comment with @lauradearden3 is online now @NatMetabolism, in which we describe some pitfalls of designing rodent studies that investigate intergenerational transmission of disease (with focus on our speciality of obesity risk) & how best to avoid them https://t.co/LN91DUDMwF
Impactful words by @CarolynBertozzi today on how diversity in her trainees enabled creativity, not playing by the rules, and ultimately the work that built the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Diverse science leads to better science!
