Invitation to the public lecture: Does our brain make us fat?

Lecture (in German) by Professor Marc Tittgemeyer at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung on Thursday, 9 November 2023, at 6.00 pm. Free entry

Feel hungry, get a pudding, enjoy it and take another: A multitude of electrical and chemical signals ensure that our body and brain make common cause in nutritional matters. But how does this physiological interaction explain why we are downright addicted to snacks? Why is it often difficult to maintain or lose weight? The lecture will discuss how the brain controls our food intake and what consequences the "agreements" between body and brain also have on our everyday behaviour.

The Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung invites you to the public lecture by Professor Marc Tittgemeyer on Thursday, 9 November at 6 pm. Tittgemeyer is a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research and an expert in the field of neurology.
