🚨 Exciting New Research Alert! 🚨 Our latest study, published in #NatureMetabolism, reveals how memory circuits in the brain drive intake of fats and sugars and impact body weight. 🍫🍟 Let’s break it down! 🧵

One major side effect of Ozempic (and related drugs) is nausea, to the point where it is not clear whether nausea itself contributes to the weight loss. @AmberAlhadeff's group used an elegant approach to identify largely dissociable circuits for nausea and weight loss.
Today in @Nature--
@MonellSc researchers, led by @AmberAlhadeff, share new findings that point towards a possible way to reduce adverse side effects of popular next-generation obesity medications like GLP1-based drugs, known as semaglutide and marketed as Ozempic® and Wegovy®

Amazing work in @Nature from my colleague @AmberAlhadeff identifying the hindbrain as the site of action of GLP1R agonists. They were able to dissociate the satiety and aversive effects of these drugs paving the way for improved anti-obesity drugs. Groundbreaking research!

Drugs like Ozempic are great for weight loss, but they make some people feel sick. We discovered that the brain circuits mediating the appetite suppression are distinct from those that mediate nausea – a finding that may be leveraged to develop more selective GLP1-based drugs.

Discovery of a neural circuit that may reduce or eliminate the nausea and vomiting side effects of GLP-1 drugs, no less other drugs

Parosmia makes everyday smells distorted and unpleasant, affecting many people. Let's raise awareness, support those affected, and encourage more research.
Spread the word and show your support! 💙

Thanks @DanielleRReed @MonellSc for a wonderful talk on the importance of genetic variability for liking and intake of foods and beverages at #AChemS2024.
She proposes a future where our diet is genetically informed to promote nutrition and sensory enjoyment!

Millions of people suffered smell loss form Covid, but did you know there are many other causes of anosmia? Find out more about anosmia here tasteandsmell.world/taste-an… #AnosmiaAwarenessDay

Find out why our CEO @DuncanBoak founded Fifth Sense in his story as shared with @HeadwayUK for #AnosmiaAwarenessDay
Today is #AnosmiaAwarenessDay
Did you know that people can lose their sense of smell after a brain injury?
"I wanted to put it behind me and initially everything seemed to be alright, apart from the fact that I couldn’t smell." Read Duncan's story here: headway.org.uk/about-brain-i…

Join Me for Anosmia Awareness Day!
Anosmia affects millions globally, yet awareness is limited. This day matters because:
1️⃣ Visibility: Shed light on anosmia's impact!
2️⃣ Support: Show empathy for those affected!
3️⃣ Research Advocacy: Drive progress in treatment!

Sometimes, it's hard to take theoretical conversations about #AI in the #FoodAndBeverage industry and imagine these tools working practically.
This #innovation from #Osmo and @MonellSc is changing that.
The future of food is bright!

#JNeurosci: Using a mouse model, @FedericaGenove5 et al. @MonellSc show how trigeminal activation by odorants can reduce the response of olfactory sensory neurons in the epithelium at a rate dependent on level of TRPA1/V1 activation induced by the odorant.
