DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Globally\, obesity-associated diseases s
 uch as Type 2 diabetes cause over 3 million deaths
  annually. The rising prevalence of obesity is dri
 ven by the consumption of high calorie foods and r
 educed levels of physical activity\, which contrib
 ute to a persistent imbalance between energy intak
 e and expenditure leading to weight gain. However\
 , within a given environment\, some people are par
 ticularly susceptible to severe obesity\, whilst o
 thers remain thin. In this lecture\, I will descri
 be how genetic studies have shaped our understandi
 ng of the pathways that regulate eating behaviour 
 and body weight. I will share insights into how th
 e brain regulates behaviours such as eating\, that
  were previously considered to be under voluntary 
 control.
