How hunger hormones impact decision-making brain area to drive behavior: Study
A hunger hormone generated in the gut can directly influence a decision-making area of the brain, according to a recent study by UCL researchers. The study in mice, published in Neuron, is the first to illustrate how hunger hormones can influence hippocampal activity when an animal is thinking about food. The researchers hope their findings could contribute to research into the mechanisms of eating disorders.
Neuron e-scooter access in Saskatoon stops as cold weather rolls in The pilot project began in May, with Neuron noting the last day to rent an e-scooter was Wednesday. Neuron said 280,000 kilometres were logged since May. The average trip was 2.7 kilometres and took about 16 minutes.
Dementia: Experts have discovered how exercise can prevent Alzheimer’s disease Physical exercise has been shown to reduce amyloid beta deposits in various mouse models, but the mechanisms involved have remained a mystery. Now, the study, published in the journal Neuron, solves the puzzle and promises new ways to prevent or cure the condition.
Scientists Finally Discover Why Exercise Cuts Alzheimer’s Risk, Study Says Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital believe they’ve discovered the hormonal link that allows exercise to reduce Alzheimer’s disease risk. In a study published Friday in the journal Neuron, the researchers found that the hormone irisin, which circulates through the body during exercise, can help reduce deposits of a protein fragment.
E-scooters cleared from Perth streets amid insurance woes The City of Perth has removed more than 200 Bird e-scooters from its streets.

Arrival of rentable e-scooters in Regina and Saskatoon comes with growing pains | CBC News Shared e-scooters are now available to rent in Regina and Saskatoon. Regina announced last week that companies Neuron and Bird, which also operate in Saskatoon, were bringing the vehicles to the provincial capital. The introduction of the scooters to the Saskatchewan market has not been without its challenges.
Local reaction mixed since electric scooters introduced to Regina On June 28, 2023, Regina welcomed e-scooters to rent from vendors Bird and Neuron. The owner of Bird in Regina, says since the launch, their experience has been very good.
E-scooters now available for rent in Regina As of Wednesday morning, e-scooters are available to rent in Regina, from vendors Bird and Neuron. Helmets on the scooters are mandatory, and people must be 16 years or older to ride.
Threat to boot e-scooter companies face boot if they can’t keep them off footpaths Lord Mayor Sally Capp supports e-scooter use in Melbourne but says stronger rules and enforcement is needed. Capp will put forward a motion at a council meeting on Tuesday calling for an investigation into what “regulatory and enforcement agreements’ the city would need to secure from the state government. Lime and Neuron have deployed 2500 e- scooters across the Melbourne, Yarra, Port Phillip and Ballarat council areas since February 2022 as part of a state government trial.
Calgary marks Bike Month with e-bike transit pilot The City of Calgary announced a new pilot program pairing e-bike providers and two LRT stations. Bird Canada and Neuron will give riders who start at the stations their first 10 minutes free. The city’s transportation department hopes to gain a better understanding of the demand for shared e-bikes in more suburban settings.
Personal e-scooters given the green light to join controversial trial Victoria will lift a ban on personal electric scooters as part of an extension of the divisive trial in which thousands of hire scooters have taken to inner-Melbourne streets. Roads Minister Melissa Horne will on Thursday announce a six-month extension to the trial with scooter hire companies Lime and Neuron. The trial has been marred by illegal footpath riding and dumped scooters blocking walkways.

‘We are working it out’: E-scooter giant vows to tackle footpath hazard Electric scooters are illegal to ride on Victorian roads. San Francisco-based Lime and competitor Neuron are permitted to operate 2500 hire scooters. It operates in 250 cities across 30 countries, backed with hundreds of millions of dollars from private investors.

Qld police access personal e-scooter data to investigate crimes Police have been using the personal details of e-scooter riders to track down offenders or witnesses to crimes, companies say. Beam and Neuron have been approached by police for riders' basic information. The companies do not hold credit card details, which is done externally, but do hand over details provided by commuters when they sign up.

A new study casts doubt on oxytocin's role as a 'love hormone' Prairie voles that were genetically altered to ignore signals from the "love hormone" oxytocin. The study, published in the journal Neuron, comes after decades of research suggesting that behaviors like pair-bonding and parenting depend on the hormone.
Oxytocin or love hormone? Indian scientists say it might have more roles to play Indian-origin scientists at University of California-San Francisco and Stanford Medicine shows that the receptor for oxytocin, a hormone considered essential to forming social bonds, may not play the critical role that scientists have assigned to it for the past 30 years. In the 15-years-long study, published in the journal Neuron, the team found that prairie vole animals bred without receptors for Oxytocin showed the same monogamous mating, attachment, and parenting behaviors as regular voles. In addition, females without oxytoc in receptors gave birth and produced milk, though in smaller quantities, than ordinary female vole.
‘Love Hormone’ Oxytocin May Not Be Needed For Mating After All, Study Suggests The biology of pair bonding and parenting is not solely controlled by oxytocin, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, found. The study, published in the journal Neuron, used prairie voles, one of the few mammals known to form lifelong monogamous relationships. Researchers said these findings move them closer to “an eminently druggable target” for alleviating psychiatric disorders.
