Neurobiology of Appetite Control

The primary goal of the “Neuronal Control of Appetite” meeting is to catalyze transformative progress in deciphering the neural mechanisms that govern appetite, with a focus on driving innovative research, cross-disciplinary collaboration, translational insight, and industrial innovation. In addition to challenging entrenched models of homeostatic control by highlighting emerging evidence of dynamic, context-dependent neural modulation, the meeting will spotlight the growing role of biotechnology and pharmaceutical initiatives aimed at developing novel diagnostics, therapeutics, and digital tools to combat obesity and metabolic disorders. This meeting is deliberately designed to convene a diverse array of participants, including systems and behavioral neuroscientists, endocrinologists, computational modelers, clinical researchers, biotech innovators, and industry leaders. By bridging traditionally siloed domains — such as neural circuit mapping, metabolic disease modeling, and therapeutic discovery — the meeting will encourage the synthesis of ideas, resources, and techniques across fields. This meeting will be held jointly with Sensory Systems: Interoception and Exteroception.
