Our system neuro approach to model willful seeking of a starvation state in mice, which is a hallmark of anorexia nervosa . Now published @NeuroCellPress . Big thanks to @andermann_mark and @Oren_Amsalem @andrewlutas and Trent Pottala.
Anorexia nervosa is a curious eating disorder where individuals go against their homeostatic needs and practice food restriction and self-starvation. We focused on a single symptom of this complex condition to see what it could teach us

Textbooks may need an update now 🤓 Proud to be part of this! Congrats to @AmeliaMDouglass et al who meticulously worked over the years to get this story together.
I’m over the moon to share my postdoc work @Nature, where we provide an answer to the longstanding question: how is the body’s stress response system (the HPA axis) activated during starvation?

I am especially grateful to my funding sources @BBRFoundation and The Klarman Family Foundation for supporting such risky but rewarding innovative pre-clinical projects like this. Again…we can never do science alone.
