Researchers identified distinct neural pathways in the brain for fat and sugar cravings. Ths vagus nerve, communicates information about consumed fats and sugars to the brain, triggering dopamine release in the brain’s reward center. @GdeLartigue cell.com/cell-metabolism/ful…

Separate gut-brain circuits for fat and sugar reinforcement combine to promote overeating

McDougle et al. unveil gut-brain circuits for sugar and fat consumption. Separate chemosensory vagal neurons respond to either post-ingestive fat or sugar and engage distinct but parallel downstream...

Researchers uncovered a crucial link between the gene Angiogenin (ANG) and diseases FTD, MND, and PD. In its mutated form, ANG causes stem cells to delay their differentiation into specialized nerve cells. @VasantaSubrama pathsocjournals.onlinelibrar…

Neural stem cell homeostasis is affected in cortical organoids carrying a mutation in Angiogenin

Mutations in Angiogenin (ANG) and TARDBP encoding the 43 kDa transactive response DNA binding protein (TDP-43) are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (ALS-FTD...
