Sympathetic Neural Networks protecting against Obesity
The brain regulates various physiological functions, including body weight, through descending autonomic sympathetic neurons. While targeting this system can improve obesity, it often carries cardiovascular risks. These limitations arise from a limited understanding of sympathetic neural networks due to their complexity and anatomically inaccessible location. My laboratory has been developing innovative strategies, including a novel imaging technique with single-neuron resolution and advanced single-cell analysis algorithms. In mice, these methods have enabled my laboratory to identify sympathetic interneurons, offering a new perspective into autonomic neuroscience. These interneurons are…
