#IngestiveBehavior
Hello world! I’m a PhD candidate at the University of Gothenburg (Sweden). My research revolves around the #neurobiology of #ingestivebehavior 🍜, energy expenditure, and emotionality. I focus on potential #sexdifferences. Besides, I’m active as a science communication docent @nawik.bsky.social .

🍽️ New study shows that “mini-ghrelins” (short peptides from ghrelin breakdown) can bind and block the ghrelin receptor without triggering its effects. Instead of being inactive leftovers, they may actively inhibit ghrelin’s hunger-inducing actions.

Mini-Ghrelins: Functional Characterization of N-terminal Peptides Derived from Ghrelin Proteolysis in Male Samples
Abstract. Some evidence suggests that ghrelin in plasma undergoes proteolytic processing, leading to the generation of shorter peptides containing the bioa

🧠🍽️ Separate neuronal populations in the hippocampus drive fat vs. sugar cravings. Sugar-responsive neurons encoded spatial memory for sugar location, whereas fat-responsive neurons selectively enhanced the preference and motivation for fat intake.
