The brain controls body weight and obesity by regulating intestinal fat absorption

Researchers in Shanghai , China , have revealed the precise mechanism by which this control takes place in mice.

The first signs indicating the presence of nutrients in the digestive tract reach the brain via the vagus nerve.

When a certain group of neurons in that same nucleus is deactivated, the length of the jejunum , a part of the small intestine, is shortened.

The brain thus regulates this absorption by controlling the length and surface area of the intestinal spaces.
