Functional, molecular and genetic neuroimaging has highlighted the existence of brain
anomalies and neural vulnerability factors related to obesity and eating disorders such as …

Objective. Neural signals along the vagus nerve (VN) drive many somatic and autonomic
functions. The clinical interest of VN stimulation (VNS) is thus potentially huge and has …

Background Substantial increases in dietary sugar intake together with the increasing
prevalence of obesity worldwide, as well as the parallels found between sugar …

Objective: Apathy may be induced by subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-
DBS) in Parkinson disease (PD). We therefore wished to test the hypothesis that apathy …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nervous and humoral pathways involved in short-
chain fatty acid (SCFA)-induced ileal brake in conscious pigs. The role of extrinsic ileal …

We used high-magnetic field (4.7 T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to build the first high-
resolution (100μm× 150μm× 100μm) three-dimensional (3D) digital atlas in stereotaxic …

Chronic vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is known to influence food intake and body weight in
animals and humans. The aim of our work was to evaluate the effects of long-term VNS in …

Compared to lean subjects, obese men have less activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal
cortex, a brain area implicated in the inhibition of inappropriate behavior, satiety, and meal …

Butyrate can improve gut functions, whereas histone deacetylase inhibitors might alleviate
neurocognitive alterations. Our aim was to assess whether oral butyrate could modulate …

Acute vagal stimulation modifies glucose and insulin metabolism, but the effect of chronic
bilateral vagal stimulation is not known. Our aim was to quantify the changes in whole-body …
