Brain serotonin circuit reverses decline in physical activity with age

Pablo Blanco Martínez de Morentin, Alasdair T. S. Leeson-Payne, Shuwen Mu…·Lora K. Heisler

The paper identifies a brain serotonin circuit that contributes to age-related decline in physical activity and shows it can be reversed by targeting specific receptors.

Obesity medication lorcaserin requires brainstem GLP-1 neurons to reduce food intake in mice

Stefan Wagner, Daniel I. Brierley, Alasdair T. S. Leeson-Payne…·Lora K. Heisler

This study identifies brainstem GLP-1 neurons as essential for lorcaserin's effect on reducing food intake in mice and suggests combination therapy with GLP-1R agonists may enhance efficacy.
