Q&A with Christopher Morrison and Matthew Potthoff
None:
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a liver-derived hormone that signals the brain to coordinate behavioral and metabolic adaptations to fasting, dietary imbalance, and changing energetic demands. However, the precise brain regions and neural populations that mediate the functions of FGF21 have remained unclear. We spoke with the authors of two related papers in this issue of Cell Reports, Christopher Morrison (C.M.) and Matthew Potthoff (M.P.), regarding their work (links to papers) that identifies a hindbrain circuit mediating the effects of FGF21 on feeding and energy expenditure.

Thomson's e/m Experiment
A particle with charge q, speed v, and mass m enters an area from the top, where the magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular both to the particle's motion and to one another. The magnetic...
Conservative Forces
Conservative forces are forces that are dependent only on the initial and final positions of an object and that are independent of the path that the object takes between these positions. These forces conserve energy, which means that the work done by the force is independent of the path...
