    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…

    Telangana faces double blow due to Centre’s bias, State’s apathy

    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. 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. This trend of reduced allocations has persisted over the years, with Telangana receiving Rs 9,729 crore in 2023-24 against a budget estimate of Rs 41,259 crore and just Rs 8,619 crore in 2021-22 against Rs 38,669 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.
