    Brain chemicals work together in controlling eating, says study

    Researchers say the finding can possibly help in developing improved anti-obesity drugs New Delhi: A study has found that brain chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin work together in controlling hunger and food intake, a finding which can possibly help in developing improved anti-obesity drugs. Working with animal models, researchers, including those at the Baylor College of Medicine, US, found that two brain chemicals — the excitement-causing dopamine and calm-inducing GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid — arrest the production of serotonin when one initiates a meal. Serotonin, known to act as a ‘mood stabiliser’ and produce calming effects, is created mainly in the dorsal Raphe nucleus, located in the midbrain — the topmost part of the brain stem that connects the brain to the spinal cord. “Working with animal models, we found that when animals are hungry, serotonin-producing neurons in the (dorsal Raphe nucleus) are inhibited by GABA and dopamine. This reduces the levels of serotonin in the brain, which allows the initiation of a meal,” Yong Xu, a professor of pediatrics-nutrition and corresponding author of the study published in the…

Hyderabad: Telangana’s development trajectory faces a major setback due to the Centre’s alleged partisan approach in release of grants-in-aid and the State government’s apathy in releasing matching grants under Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS). The State has received a mere Rs 3,899 crore in grants-in-aid from the Centre until October-end, a stark shortfall against the budgeted Rs 21,636 crore.

    Indian soldiers gifted spice tins during WW-I truce  

    A new research has found that these spice tins ended up in the hands of German soldiers when the Western Front fell silent as soldiers walked across no man’s land to exchange handshakes, gifts and a game of football 110 years ago London: Up until recently, people might not have believed or expected Indian soldiers to take part in the truce during World War I, though they may have been observers.

Professor Peter Doyle, a military historian at Goldsmiths, University of London, is quoted in ‘The Times’ to showcase how new research has found that these spice tins ended up in the hands of German soldiers when the Western…

      Andhra Pradesh asks KRMB for exclusion of flood time water drawls; Telangana opposes

      The authorities in Telangana are strongly opposing the situation. During the September 2024 floods, Andhra Pradesh received a significant portion of inflows into the Srisailam project, with the Pothireddypadu head regulator accounting for over 110 TMC. Andhra Pradesh’s ample storage facilities enable it to begin irrigation schedules early, using water beyond the Krishna basin. Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh has requested the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) not to consider the water drawn during flood times as part of its allocated water share. The State argued that the water diverted during floods was surplus and would otherwise flow into the sea, and thus should not be counted against the agreed water share. The river board is likely to give a serious thinking about the…

      Opinion: Falsehood trumps limping truth

      Monopolisation of social media and other digital platforms is empowering right-wing forces to control the world Propaganda, misinformation and fake news are nothing new in our society. It can be traced back to the time of Mahabharata when Yudhisthir, known for his unwavering truthfulness, misled Drona by declaring that Ashwathama was killed but murmured the latter part, “I do not know if it is a man or an elephant,” so softly that Drona could not hear it clearly. Believing Yudhisthir that his warrior son Ashwathama was killed, Drona bowed his head and was beheaded. Drona was one of the epical victims of fake news or disinformation. Propaganda and misinformation have taken a new turn now with the widespread availability of…
