🧠🍽️ A "hunger switch" in the nose? Smelling food activates a pathway from the olfactory bulb to medial septum glutamatergic neurons in mice, triggering anticipatory satiety: making them feel full before eating. This circuit works in lean mice but is disrupted in obesity. #neuroskyence 🧪

A food-sensitive olfactory circuit drives anticipatory satiety - Nature Metabolism

The authors describe a sensory circuit involving the medial septum (MS), where MS glutamatergic neurons integrate food odours to prime satiety and regulate nutrient intake.
