As a result, after just three days, the subjects began to consume three times more calories. In addition, the scientists found inflammation in the animals' brains, namely in the hypothalamus, which contains neurons responsible for body weight. In addition, the center's employees recorded a response to brain injury in rats called "gliosis". This process is triggered in response to the death of nerve tissue. The same condition can be observed during multiple sclerosis, as well as during a stroke. As a result, scientists came to the conclusion that by limiting damage to neurons, it would be possible to wean a person off overeating. Meanwhile, other scientists conducted a study, during which they found out that . And their colleagues proved that the best way not to get fat is to not think about anything except food.
