A high-resolution spatial map of the human hypothalamus makes it possible to identify specific cells, determine their exact location and analyze their neighboring cells. The cell atlas, called Hypomap ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism by which a cluster of astrocytes, specialized brain cells, in the hypothalamus cause obesity in mice. Their study also identified a drug that inhibited the ...

Compared to sugar, consuming sucralose-a widely used sugar substitute-increases activity in the hypothalamus, a brain region that regulates appetite and body weight, according to a new USC study.

The left figure illustrates the hypothalamus, a region responsible for encoding the switch between survival-related behaviors, along with its connected regions during the switching process. The right ...

A popular sweetener, sucralose, triggers more hunger signals than sugar in the brain, especially in people with obesity.

A new study has implicated several genes involved in a variety of bodily functions associated with the hypothalamus, a notoriously difficult-to-study region of the brain. The findings could help ...

Our results suggest that the hypothalamus warrants further study in the context of IBD pathogenesis." IBD, which includes both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is principally an ...

Hypothalamic obesity is a complex condition. Dietary changes won’t likely result in lasting weight loss, but there are other benefits for long-term health. The hypothalamus is a small but important ...

Obesity associated with hypothalamic dysfunction was initially described in patients with craniopharyngioma. Hypothalamic obesity may also result from brain radiation, infection (eg, tuberculosis), ...

The hypothalamus, a brain region that helps control our hormones and sleep cycles, is also responsible for our ability to switch between predator- and prey-like behavior. When you purchase through ...
