Neurobiology of Obesity and Metabolic Diseases Program

Neurobiology of Obesity and Metabolic Diseases Program is sponsored by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Encompasses research on the regulation of body composition and peripheral metabolism by the brain, including studies on neurotransmitters and neuropeptides involved in regulating feeding behavior and energy expenditure.

The Neurobiology of Obesity and Metabolic Diseases program encompasses research on the regulation of body composition and peripheral metabolism by the brain.

Specific areas of support within this area include neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and their receptors involved in regulating feeding behavior, energy sensing, satiety, and energy expenditure; interactions between the brain and peripheral metabolic signals, e.g. , insulin, leptin, glucocorticoids, ghrelin; the neural integration of endocrine and metabolic signals; neural plasticity and functional remodeling associated with obesity and metabolic diseases, and the early development of neural networks that control feeding, satiety and peripheral metabolism.
