Neuroscientist J. Nicholas Betley has studied how forces key to survival—like the drive to eat and drink—affect neurons in the brain. In this talk, Betley will share what his research tells us about how hunger, food, and even certain drugs can change the activity of brain neurons known to influence feeding, and how that knowledge may be exploited to address obesity, eating disorders, and encourage healthy eating.
