Insulin action in the brain can lead to obesity: How insulin in hypothalamus controls body's energy balance

sciencedaily.com — “Fat-rich food makes you fat. Behind this simple equation lie complex signalling pathways, through which the neurotransmitters in the brain control the body’s energy balance. Scientists in Germany have clarified an important step in this complex control circuit. They have succeeded in showing how the hormone insulin acts in the part of the brain known as the ventromedial hypothalamus.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Why Can't Chimps Speak? Key Differences In How Human And Chimp Versions Of FOXP2 Gene Work

feeds.sciencedaily.com — “If humans are genetically related to chimps, why did our brains develop the innate ability for language and speech while theirs did not? Scientists suspect that part of the answer to the mystery lies in a gene called FOXP2. When mutated, FOXP2 can disrupt speech and language in humans. Now, a new study reveals major differences between how the human and chimp versions of FOXP2 work, perhaps explaining why language is unique to humans.View full resource at feeds.sciencedaily.com
