When you have three cats and three humans, you have one problem: feeding them on a schedule without over or under feeding them. Even if there was only one human …read more Continue reading Cat-o-Matic 3000 Serves Your Feline Masters
Researchers have found that desynchronizing the circadian rhythm in rats caused brain changes that had a significant impact on appetite and feeding behavior. The findings have important implications for night shift workers and those suffering jet lag a… Continue reading Upsetting circadian rhythm causes brain changes that increase appetite
Researchers at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa have made a surprising first discovery: scalloped hammerhead sharks hold their breath like air-breathing marine mammals when they deep dive into cold waters to feed. The finding has improved our underst… Continue reading Hammerheads hold their breath to keep warm when deep-diving for food
Newborn babies can be tricky to figure out, especially for first-time parents. Despite the abundance of unsolicited advice proffered by anyone who ever had a baby before — and many …read more Continue reading Machine Learning Baby Monitor Prevents the Hunger Games
An intriguing new study, from a team of Swiss researchers, has revealed neural activity during REM sleep in a particular region of the brain known to affect appetite and feeding behaviors significantly influences waking eating patterns.Continue Reading… Continue reading The newly discovered weird link between REM sleep and eating patterns
When embarking on a career in the life sciences, it seems like the choice of which model organism to study has more than a little to do with how it fits into the researcher’s life. I once had a professor who studied lobsters, ostensibly because they are a great model for many questions in cell biology; in actuality, he just really liked to eat lobster. Another colleague I worked with studied salt transport in shark rectal glands, not because he particularly liked harvesting said glands — makes the sharks a tad grumpy — but because he really liked spending each …read more
