The Center for Neuroinflammation and Cardiometabolic Disease (CNCD) proudly celebrates the groundbreaking work of Dr. Eric Krause and his team at Georgia State University. Their research has identified a novel group of neurons that control the brain-heart-gut axis and can be activated to induce a hypometabolic state resembling hibernation. This remarkable discovery has the potential to revolutionize scientific understanding and treatment of conditions related to obesity, cardiometabolic health, and even the challenges of space travel.
Published in Nature Metabolism, the study highlights Dr. Krause’s leadership as a professor of neuroscience, Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) Distinguished Investigator, and core CNCD member. Collaborators include researchers from the University of Florida and the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia.
This transformative research underscores the CNCD’s commitment to advancing innovation in health and science.
