Neural regulation of energy homeostasis
Elucidating how the genetically defined neural circuits respond to a change of lifestyle will provide new insights in better treating metabolic diseases. Our research focuses on revealing the neural circuits of energy homeostasis regulation and the mechanisms of the plastic change of these circuits in response to change of lifestyle.
