This NIDDK Early-stage Investigator Symposium showcases emerging leaders and rising stars who are focused on the neural control of metabolic organs that regulate body weight, temperature, and glucose homeostasis in animal models. The overarching concept of this symposium emphasizes the role of sensorimotor networks in the central nervous system in monitoring the internal milieu and enacting control of metabolic end-organs like the pancreas and brown and white adipose tissues.
