This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), provides $502,233 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on NTS neuron populations that mediate the aversive and non-aversive suppression of food intake. The research aims to define NTS neuron populations that control food intake and body weight, and distinguish neurons that mediate aversive versus non-aversive responses. This 5-year project, with a period of performance from February 1, 2025 to November 30, 2029, will leverage advanced molecular genetic techniques to understand the regulation and function of specific NTS neuron populations. The findings are expected to uncover potential therapeutic targets for obesity treatment.
