08 Aug 2023 --- Neuroscientists from different universities in Cambridge, UK, have unveiled a relationship between body mass index (BMI) and hypothalamus volume, the brain region controlling appetite control. A new study shows obese and overweight people have a larger volume than normal weight and slimmer people. What and how much we eat is influenced by hormones, genetics and our environment. Prior studies claim that the almond-sized brain region, the hypothalamus, is essential in signaling whether we are hungry or full.
