Projects for Thesis
Supervision:
1. Is constitutive cell proliferation in the
adult hypothalamus required for body weight maintenance?
2. Do adult-born neural cells integrate into
the hypthalamic feeding circuits?
3. Does exercise-induced, long-term weight loss
depend on altered hypothalamic cell proliferation?
