Researchers at Pennington Biomedical Research Center provide critical insight into how the brain and body work together to ...

Researchers discovered that the liver hormone FGF21 signals hindbrain neurons to control appetite and metabolism during ...

Researchers have found that the hormone FGF21 reversed obesity in mice by acting on a newly identified brain circuit in the hindbrain. Unlike GLP-1 drugs, which mainly reduce appetite, FGF21 appears ...

A new study from Pennington Biomedical Research Center reveals that the liver hormone FGF21 directly targets specific hindbrain neurons to regulate food intake and energy use during protein ...

University of Pennsylvania and Syracuse University scientists have discovered that a hindbrain-derived peptide, octadecaneuropeptide (ODN), can suppress appetite and improve glucose regulation without ...

A new study from Pennington Biomedical Research Center reveals that the hormone FGF21 acts on specific hindbrain neurons to regulate food intake, energy expenditure, and adaptation to ...

The vertebrate hindbrain undergoes a complex process of segmentation and patterning during embryogenesis, a process governed by tightly regulated gene networks and signalling gradients. Central to ...
