100. The State of Neuroscience Research with MPFI's Scientific Directors
In this 100th and final episode of the MPFI Neurotransmissions Podcast, hosts Joe Schumacher, Lesley Colgan, Jeremy Cheng, and Akash Pal sit down to reminisce on the journey of the podcast with podcast producer Kevin Albertini. To mark this incredible milestone, the podcast returns full circle and welcomes back our guest from our very first episode, CEO and Scientific Director David Fitzpatrick joined by the other two scientific directors of MPFI, Ryohei Yasuda and Lin Tian. The directors look back at the exciting changes that have happened both at MPFI and in the neuroscience field since the podcast started in 2016 and discuss what they think are the next big questions in the field.

98. Brain Circuits Behind Eating Habits With Dr. Mark Andermann
In this episode of the MPFI Neurotransmissions Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Mark Andermann (@AndermannLab), a renowned neuroscientist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center & Harvard University, to explore the intricate neural circuits that regulate feeding behavior. Dr. Andermann shares his groundbreaking research on how the brain processes hunger and satiety signals, and what happens when these systems go awry in cases of dysfunctional eating.
