Sweet taste is generally associated with calorie rich diet. In the brain this information is used to adjust the amount of food that is eaten and how hungry one feels. Disrupting this balance by supplementing food with artificial sweeteners, which have no caloric content, represents a challenge for the brain. However, specific neuronal pathways are in place to correct this imbalance of calorie to taste and we are interested to identify the major component of these pathways.

甜味通常与富含卡路里的饮食有关。在大脑中，这些信息被用来调整吃的食物量和饥饿感。通过在食物中添加没有热量的人造甜味剂来破坏这种平衡，对大脑来说是一个挑战。然而，特定的神经通路是正确的，以纠正这种不平衡的热量的味道，我们有兴趣确定这些途径的主要组成部分。
