Forced expression of the BP3 protein allowed obese mice to reduce their fat mass, despite having a genetic predisposition to eat all the time. Read More
By stimulating cold and nicotine receptors, researchers successfully improved metabolism in mice, helping them to lose weight. Further studies will investigate whether the same results can be achieved in humans. Read More
A new neuroimaging study found those who achieved greater success at losing weight showed increased activation in regions of the lateral prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with self control. Read More
Researchers explore the neuroscience behind binge eating and the triggers that might make us reach for comfort foods. Read More
Researchers have identified a population of immune cells that appear to be associated with neurons which play a role in fat storage and obesity. Read More
Taking steps to improve your heart health early in life can help prevent brain shrinkage as you age, a new Neurology study reports. Researchers discovered people who had better heart health scores also had a higher average brain volume as a percentage of their total head size in middle age. Read More
Eating late, or at inappropriate times might have a significant impact on both weight and normal sleep-wake patterns, a new study published in Cell Metabolism reports. Read More
A non invasive brain scan may help doctors predict who will be successful in their weight loss efforts, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers report a weight loss dampens the response to food cues in areas of the brain associated with emotion and attention. Read More
A new study reports that increased weight loss per decade during midlife to late life is associated with an increased risk of developing MCI. Read More
According to a new study, women with the APOEe4 allele, a genetic variant closely tied to Alzheimer's disease, face sharper weight loss after the age of 70 than those without the gene, whether they go on to develop dementia or not. Read More
A new study reports some drugs commonly prescribed to help treat dementia patients can cause significant weight loss and increase mortality. Read More
