Buongiorno! Guten Tag! Good Morning! My name is Aldo, I am a physician and I live in Milano, Italy.

Buona Lettura!

Neuronal activity in the anterior paraventricular nucleus of thalamus positively correlated with #sweetener consumption in mice

Although the brain can discriminate between various sweet substances, the underlying neural mechanisms of this complex behavior remain elusive. This study examines the role of the anterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (aPVT) in governing sweet preference in mice. We fed the mice six different diets with equal sweetness for six weeks: control diet (CD), …
