Episode notes

In humans and rats if you go under anywhere between 17 or 60 your brain can detect the low blood glucose and you'll feel hungry i want to give corkan food. According to a 2018 paper activation of catacolamine neurons in the ventral modula reduces cck induced hypophagia, according to Dr. sue ritter's lab pq. The study was co-authored by the late dr. sue Ritter whose lab pq works in catacolamines which could potentially increase food intake when activated by glucose deficit. So two parts the brain kind of work in opposition promoting hunger and satiety so that you don't accidentally stop feeding before your blood sugar levels drop

I’m at the airport and there are hundreds of brain scientists everywhere. So I swallowed my dignity/anxiety and approached strangers about the neuroscience they do. The result is a bushel of info on cravings, sleep, consciousness, addiction, dopamine, monogamy, Ozempic, toxins in your brain and so much more with: Georgia Kirkpatrick, Isabella Montana, Dr. Marissa Co, Chancey Garrett, Noah Millman, Pique Choi, Dr. Barbara Sorg and Elizabeth Plunk. Oops, we just made a bunch of new friends. All thanks to poster tubes, a.k.a: nerdurdurs.
