- impulsiveboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Lemme get this straight: my choices are a few less calories a day and some exercise or....rat brains? ( Or rather, an injection of some sort ) I think I'll take the deep fried rat brains as well.
- carniv0re, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Brains....
- deviantdarlings, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5We should ship this stuff to 3rd world countries instead of food. That way we don't have to worry about Rush Limbaugh and Micheal Moore running out of food.
- bightchee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5The only catch is you have to eat two pounds of it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Maybe he was joking, dude?
Nobody has a sense of humor around here... - inkyblue2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4i ate two pounds of deep fried rat brains, and now i feel strangely full!
- s1rk3ls, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8I was just wondering what a hunger pang was...
- jonro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Eating rat brain might give you Mad Rat disease...
- TheRealTopherG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If he was joking, it wasn't funny...
- Chrysalid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"When the molecule was injected into rat-brains, the rats ate less and lost weight..."
I wonder if the end goes like "but they also developed a third arm, five extra eyes and had seizures" - Charron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I remember learning about something like this in my psychology class. The trouble's gonna come when they've lost enough weight and need to eat more. It could be tough.
And you wouldn't be eating rat brains. They're injecting a molecule into rat brains. But hey, if you want to eat 'em, be my guest. Might even make a good diet, I know I wouldn't want to eat anything for a while after tasting rat brain. - SmurfyBrown, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Thank god these scientists are working their fingers to the bone to find treatment for obesity. Maybe some day Americans can depend on chemicals to curb their appetite, and their suffering will come to an end. If only children with cancer and AIDS could cure themselves with the magic of willpower...
- plasminojen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1there is a way to attach catheters that go to the brain. Like all brain surgery, you have to be careful maintaining the cerebral spinal fluid pressures while implanting the catheter. But with this method, there are no needles to use to inject into the space around the brain...and allows for both sampling and administration of drugs that may not cross the blood-brain-barrier otherwise (i.e. injected intravenously). This would also help with continuous infusion as stated in the article. I think once you find a drug that works with this method, then it can be altered to be given by some other route (IV, orally) and still cross that blood brain barrier...
- VioletArrows, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1On one hand, never being bothered with hunger driving one crazy. On the other hand, constant annoyance that everything in the pantry and fridge has little nibble holes in it.
- fauxXenophanes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Everybody knows what they have to do, but nobody wants to do it. Just eat the friggin' rat brains 'n be done with it!
- nonsequitor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I still can't get past the "injected directly into the brain" part of the article. Thats just creepy, insulin is one thing but having to inject it into the brain makes it a little ways away from the mass market, considering being fat usually isn't an immediate health risk like diabetes.
- franksmith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Alternate title....
Sticking needles in Rats brains causes lack of appetite - freeloader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For those who are interested, here is a recipe including pictures!

The site also has hundreds of priceless pictures - jade247, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Our cat like rat brains and he never gets fat, irrespective of how much he eats of everything else..mm could be a lesson in that...! He runs our household too..
- crossix, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Guess we need to load up the syringe and inject you then... Obesity is a serious issue, not a laughing matter 32% or more in the united states have this problem and its nice to see some kind progress on a solution.
- Patented, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4You couldn't even go to Dictionary.com before making a capital-T-total ass of yourself?

- bklinker, on 10/12/2007, -11/+0Hey professor,
I think the word you're looking for is "pains".
