Simon Luckman, Brackenbury Chair of Physiology, University of Manchester
Simon has wide ranging interests in the regulation of appetite and body weight and has been at the forefront of research trying to understand how the new GLP1 and related compounds modulate appetite. This work has focussed on the ability of neurons in the dorsal vagal complex neurons to sense and relay information from circulating gut hormones to the forebrain.
The Adrian Seminars in Neuroscience are dedicated to Lord Edgar Adrian, renowned Cambridge physiologist and Nobel laureate. All talks will take place on Mondays at 4.15pm, in the Hodgkin-Huxley Seminar Room (and/or Zoom), unless stated otherwise.
