Whether it is through breakthroughs in the laboratory, translational impacts in communities, or informing policy, Berkeley researchers are at the forefront. The multidisciplinary approach to health research at Berkeley is rooted in strong collaborations across departments and with researchers in clinical and community settings in the Bay Area, across California, and around the world. Berkeley鈥檚 strengths in data science, engineering, genomics, drug development, public health and policy help solve some of the most pressing health concerns of today.  </p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph--section__sidebar"> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="paragraph--spacing large"></div> <section class="paragraph--section with-view " id="recent-news" x-intersect.half="menu = 'menu-recent-news'"> <div class="container"> <h2 class="paragraph--section__heading"> <div href="#recent-news" class="anchor"> Recent News </div> </h2> </div> <div class="paragraph--section__content layout--full"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph--section__main"> <div class="paragraph--view"> <div class="views-element-container"><div class="view view-news view-id-news view-display-id-block_12 js-view-dom-id-f3d52fd3c0d68afea6dcf7273d7b5ece517545a6569a7155342b61c4b51033a6"> <div class="view-header"> <center> <h2>Health News</h2> </center> </div> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-view-grid horizontal cols-3 clearfix"> <div class="views-row clearfix row-1"> <div class="views-col col-1" style="width: 33.333333333333%;"> <article about="/news/scientists-discover-why-obesity-takes-away-pleasure-eating" class="node--teaser3-list-item node node--type-news node--view-mode-teaser-5 node--type-news-view-mode-teaser-5"> <div class="node__date"> March 26, 2025 </div> <div class="field field--name-field-teaser-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/news_list_2/public/2025-03/fatty-brain2-copy-1024x585.jpg?itok=qteoL7XG" width="400" height="300" alt="an outline of the human brain as seen from the side, filled with images of high-fat foods" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-news-list-2" /> </div> <div class="news__content"> <h3 class="node__title"> <a href="/news/scientists-discover-why-obesity-takes-away-pleasure-eating" rel="bookmark"><span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Scientists Discover Why Obesity Takes Away the Pleasure of Eating</span> </a> </h3> <div class="node__body"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"> New study finds that obesity reduces a specific brain chemical, lowering the desire to consume high-calorie foods.
