The received wisdom for years has been that the only biofeedback from fat to brain and back was via chemicals, hormones. The body’s adipose tissue, a technical term for fat, produces hormones and these chemical messages move passively in the blood through the body and to the brain which then makes any adjustments to the way the body works accordingly. Now scientists at Scripps Research have discovered that the adipose tissue and the brain are actually connected by sensory neurons and messages are actively sent back and forth between the body’s fat and the brain. Yes, in effect your fat talks to your brain!
