On Deck-Dr. Richard Rogers

October 22, 2010 – 10:55 am

I am exciting to be profiling Dr. Richard Rogers in my upcoming Neuroscience Backstory feature. This is an important feature because it focuses on the timely topic of modulation of the brain-gut axis by cytokines, hormones and CNS pathways involved in the control of feeding behavior and energy utilization. Given the acceleration in the growth [...]
