This pre‐registered study investigated how naturally varying ghrelin concentrations affect the processing of touch as a social reward in humans. Sixty‐seven volunteers received slow caressing touch (so‐called CT‐targeted touch) as a social...
We previously provided evidence supporting the existence of a novel leptin‐independent body weight homeostat (“the gravitostat”) that senses body weight and then initiates a homeostatic feed‐back regulation of body weight. We, herein, hypothesize that this feed‐back regulation involves a CNS mechanism. To identify populations of neurones of importance for the putative feed‐back signal induced by increased...
