INSULIN MODULATES FOOD VALENCE THROUGH ASTROCYTES

Jonathan Adrian Zegarra-Valdivia, Estrella Fernandez de Sevilla, Muhammad Zahid Khan…·Ignacio Torres Aleman

This study shows that astrocytic insulin receptors modulate food valence by affecting orexin neuron responses to food in mice.

INFLUENCE OF LIFESTYLE ON BRAIN SENSITIVITY TO CIRCULATING INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR 1

Jonathan Adrian Zegarra-Valdivia, Muhammad Zahid Khan, Aurora Putzolu…·Ignacio Torres‐Alemán

The paper investigates how lifestyle factors like isolation and high-fat diet affect brain sensitivity to IGF-1 in mice, showing reduced neuronal responses to systemic IGF-1 and linking this to mood disturbances.
