Food odors don’t just trigger cravings – when they persist, they can suppress appetite Their findings suggest that smells play a more complex role in feeding behavior and regulation of food intake than was previously understood.

How do #foodSmells influence your #appetite? Dr. Y He et al found a brain circuit that mediates an unexpected response to sustained food smells. @bcmhouston.bsky.social #TCHResearchNews @natcomms.nature.com blogs.bcm.edu/2025/09/04/f...
