On Tuesday, April 14, at 6 pm, Romina Miranda-Olivos, a postdoctoral researcher with the Endocrinology, Diabetes and Nutrition Research Group at IR Sant Pau, will give a talk at the Navas Civic Centre entitled ‘The brain’s appetite: the neurobiology of eating behaviour’.
The brain plays a very important role in our relationship with the food we eat. Specifically, it is responsible for controlling appetite and the feeling of fullness through signals that regulate our eating behaviour. However, this behaviour is also influenced by emotional, social and psychological factors that can alter our brain’s natural response, leading to disorders such as obesity and anorexia.
Join us to discover what research reveals about what happens in the brain during these situations of imbalance. We will analyse how these brain circuits are regulated and what treatments exist to counteract these imbalances, emphasising the importance of addressing these behaviours with a holistic approach that promotes a healthier relationship with food.
