New Secret Messenger Between Fat And The Brain.

For many years, it is assumed that hormones were the way,
adipose tissue, sends messages related to stress and metabolism to the brain.
But a new study identifies that that sensory neurons carry a stream of messages from adipose tissue to the brain.
This can be co-opted to treat obesity or metabolic disease.
The discovery of these neurons suggests for the first time,
that your brain is actively surveying your fat,
rather than just passively receiving messages about it.
