Yale’s Sheffield Scientific School, begun in the 1850s, was one of the leading scientific and engineering centres until 1956, when it merged with Yale College and ceased to exist. A graduate school of arts and sciences was organized in 1847, and a school of art was created in 1866. Music, forestry and environmental studies, nursing, drama, management, architecture, physician associate, and Yale is highly selective in its admissions and is among the nation’s most highly rated schools in terms of academic and social The Yale University Library, with more than 15 million volumes, is one of the largest in the United States.

Diminished brain response to nutrients observed in people with obesity

After a person eats, the gut dispatches a series of signals to the brain conveying the presence of nutrients, a phenomenon that scientists believe may help regulate eating behavior. However, in a new study led by Yale’s These differences in brain activity, the researchers say, could help explain why it’s difficult for some to lose weight and maintain weight loss. The findings were published June 12 in We need to find where that point is when the brain starts to lose its capacity to regulate food intake and what determines that switch. Mireille Serlie Over 4 million people die each year around the world as a result of being overweight, according to the World Health Organization, and understanding the biological factors that contribute to obesity will be essential for addressing its devastating, global impact, say researchers. And while the ways that the body responds to nutrient intake may be a key factor in eating behavior, the role of nutrient signaling in humans is not well understood. For the new study, researchers infused glucose or fat directly into the stomach of 28 people identified as “lean” — those with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or less — and 30 people with obesity (BMI of 30 or higher). They then assessed brain activity though functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Among lean participants, the researchers saw evidence of reduced activity across various regions of the brain following the infusion of both glucose and fat. Conversely, they observed no cha...
