Our new paper in Molecular Metabolism shows how certain appetite-inducing neurons in the brain change with time as high fat diet is consumed for a prolonged period. These changes may contribute to the onset and maintenance of diet-induced obesity. Congratulation to the first authors Victoria and Lisa! https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molmet.2020.100977
