Submission of the Week
Neuroscience
Here, the authors found that deep brain stimulation of the nucleus accumbens attenuated binge eating in mice. Binge eating can be a predominant feature in many cases of obesity, and reward pathways in the nucleus accumbens have previously been attributed to mediating this overconsumption of highly calorific food. These findings provide further evidence for the dysregulation of these pathways in binge eating, and may have important implications for the development of treatments for obesity in humans.

ABOUT F1000 POSTERS
F1000 Posters is a unique open access repository for posters and slide presentations across biology and medicine. By keeping the work visible long after a meeting has ended it maximizes the return on the time, effort and money invested in creating each presentation. We also accept depositions from local meetings (e.g. PhD student days).
F1000 Posters has received positive responses from presenters and societies alike, and we have support from leading journals and publishers including Nature, PNAS, Elsevier, BMJ, BioMed Central, PLoS, SAGE etc (see here for a full list of responses).
