 What makes you suddenly dart into the bakery when you spy
chocolate- frosted donuts in the window, though you certainly hadn't

New research from Northwestern
University's Feinberg School of Medicine reveals how hunger works in

Krispy Kremes, in perhaps their first starring role in neurological research, helped lead to the discovery.
In
the study, subjects were tested twice -- once after gorging on up to
eight Krispy Kreme donuts until they couldn't eat anymore, and on

Disorders can be difficult to diagnose, those with disorders can be reluctant to seek treatment, and society has tended to look upon those with mental disorders or diseases with a mixture of skepticism and concern. But, the field of genomics is expanding our understanding of how genes predict or control a plethora of human biochemistry, and is beginning to offer insight into the true causes of mental diseases.
