معرفی
Gina M. Leinninger is a Professor in the Department of Physiology at Michigan State University, with affiliations in the Neuroscience Program. Her research focuses on understanding how lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) neurons regulate energy balance and obesity through interactions with dopamine circuits and metabolic signaling.
- Education: B.S. in Chemistry (1999, University of Michigan - Flint); Ph.D. in Neuroscience (2005, University of Michigan)
Her work examines:
- Metabolic stimulus responses in LHA neurons
- Neurotransmitter pathways in weight regulation
- Motivated behavior modification
- Therapeutic targeting of neural circuits
Recent publications highlight neurotensin-dopamine interactions (2024), social behavior encoding in orexin neurons (2023), and hippocampal ghrelin effects (2020). Key subfields include neurotensin signaling, diet-induced obesity, and hypothalamic circuitry.
