Scientists discover hidden brain switch that tells you to stop eating

A surprising new discovery reveals that your brain may rely on more
than just neurons to decide when you're full.

Your brain's "stop eating" signal may come from an unexpected source. Researchers found that astrocytes--once thought to just support neurons--actually play a key role in controlling appetite. After a
meal, glucose triggers tanycytes, which send signals to astrocytes
that then activate fullness neurons. This newly discovered pathway
could lead to innovative treatments for obesity and eating disorders.
