April 26th, 2024 – Mario Buenrostro Jáuregui (Laboratory of Neuroscience, Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico) – Obesity and food addiction in animals and humans : the environment as the primary mediator

Obesity and food addiction are current issues in the Western world. While the problem may seem straightforward in terms of energy consumption, the complexity of interactions among various factors, including brain, hormonal, energetic, motivational, social, and environmental mechanisms, makes it much more challenging to comprehend. Research conducted in animal models as well as in humans enables us to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon. This understanding will aid in the development of more effective prevention and intervention strategies. Here, we will discuss some of our ongoing research on obesity, stress, and food and drink consumption, conducted in both rat models and human subjects.
