Scientists discover brain cells that control hunger

Could THIS lead to a cure for obesity? Scientists discover brain cells that control hunger

• Regions of the brain become activated in response to hunger, a study found
• Such cell activation may encourage people to seek out food, the research adds
• Targeting such cells could help with weight loss, particularly among diabetics
• Yet, such cell activation may occur due to hunger and not change behavior 

Scientists may have discovered a new treatment for obesity after uncovering cells in the brain that control hunger, new research reveals.

Experiments reveal certain regions of the brain become activated in response to hunger, a study found.

This may encourage people to seek out food, according to the researchers.

Targeting such cells could be an effective weight-loss solution, they add.

Patients with diabetes and other weight-related conditions may particularly benefit, the researchers said. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4745700/Scientists-discover-brain-cells-control-hunger.html
