New research shines light on how the brain interprets nutritional and hydration needs and turns them into action.

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence identified specific populations of neurons in the amygdala that play a key role in this process.

The study sheds new light on the amygdala's role in regulating our nutritional needs and may offer insights into eating disorders and addiction.

Food and water intake are regulated by distinct central amygdala circuits revealed using intersectional genetics. Nature Communications , 2025 ; 16 ( 1 ) DOI: 10.1038 /s41467-025-58144-3 Cite This Page:.
