Research Topic
Food sensory perception is a powerful regulator of feeding behaviour and integrative physiology, capable of engaging neural circuits controlling hunger, motivation, and metabolic homeostasis before a single bite is consumed. Remarkably, the sight and smell of food can rapidly alter the activity of key neuronal populations controlling feeding and whole-body metabolism in anticipation of nutrient intake. These findings have reshaped our understanding of appetite regulation by revealing that feeding circuits are strongly influenced by food-predictive sensory cues, rather than exclusively by post-ingestive or homeostatic signals.
Yet, how sensory cues are translated into metabolic and behavioural responses remains poorly understood. The Steculorum Group aims to uncover the regulatory principles linking food sensory perception to physiological and behavioural outcomes, from the earliest stages of sensory processing to whole-body physiology, across development and in health and diseases.
To address these questions, we use an integrated technology framework combining advanced genetic and systems neuroscience approaches in mice, including in vivo fiber photometry, optogenetics, activity-dependent neuronal labelling, neurocircuit mapping, and molecular approaches such as ribosome profiling and single-cell and bulk transcriptomics. These approaches are complemented by detailed physiological and behavioural analyses.
Successful candidates will contribute to this research programme while developing their projects within a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary environment.
