After a big meal, you may feel like you could make After a big meal, you may feel like you could make room for a sweet treat. This is because our brain cells that tell us we're full could also be making us crave sugar!

Neuroscientist Marielle Minère studied how mice would react to a sugar offering after being full from their regular food. The POMC, a bundle of neurons inside of the hypothalamus (the part of the brain that controls hunger) lit up once the mice were shown the sugar after their meal. Minère then studied human brain tissue. Mice and humans have different brains, but this part of the brain is very similar!

Minère calls this a "sugar-craving circuit", and believes that it overrides the "fullness circuit", especially because sugar consumption releases dopamine. We are happy to be eating it! 🍰
