Overeating and sugar addiction is found to be due to a specific brain circuit. The reward-related neural circuit specifically controls compulsive sugar consumption in mice. The control of sugar consumption could be done without preventing the feeding necessary for survival. This experiment provides a novel target for the safe and effective treatment of compulsive overeating in humans.
