Neuroscientist Dr. Sarah Stern studies how the insular cortex, a region deep within the brain, integrates internal signals like hunger and hormones with external influences such as stress, food cues, and social context. Her lab’s recent work has revealed that leptin receptors in this area directly shape feeding behavior and even short-term weight regulation. Using advanced tools such as single-cell sequencing and real-time calcium imaging, Dr. Stern’s team is uncovering how these circuits adapt to changing states of hunger and stress.While the world is focused on GLP-1–based drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, Dr. Stern will show why understanding the neural basis of appetite and satiety is key to explaining why some people respond to these treatments and others do not, and what that could mean for developing future treatments that are more effective, with fewer side effects.Science Meets Music is free and open to the public.
