This 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), aims to study the role of the parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN) in regulating feeding behavior and appetite. The $427,000 award to President & Trustees of Williams College, with a project period from April 2025 to March 2028, will allow researchers to investigate the neural connectivity, activity patterns, and necessity of specific PSTN subpopulations in mediating appetite suppression. The key objectives are to determine the sources of afferent projections to PSTN, examine the effects of orexigenic and anorexigenic stimuli on PSTN neuronal activity, and test the necessity of individual PSTN subpopulations and their downstream targets in appetite regulation. This research aims to advance the understanding of the central mechanisms underlying hunger and appetite control, which is critical for addressing health issues related to over- and under-nutrition.
