The CNS plays an essential role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. In turn, peripherally-derived nutrient and metabolic signals play a fundamental role in modulating neuroendocrine, autonomic and behavioural processes and driving intracellular metabolism in the brain. With the rise in obesity and diabetes and associated neuropathologies such as Alzheimer’s disease and mood disorders, understanding brain-metabolism interplay has never been more important.
Annual meeting gathering Canadian researchers working on CNS controls of appetite, energy metabolism, energy expenditure and related pathologies such as obesity and eating, mood and neurological disorders. Keynote lecture of Martin Myers on Saturday evening. All day short talks by trainees (Sunday, May 29).
