A steady diet of high-fat foods leads to reduced pleasure in eating, likely contributing to obesity. UC Berkeley scientists have discovered why, opening up new possibilities for treating obesity — not by fighting desire, but by restoring desire in a healthier way.

This is part of a new image that shows the vibration directions, or polarization, of the radiation. The zoom-in on the right is 10 degrees high. Polarized light vibrates in a particular direction; blue shows where the surrounding light’s vibration directions are angled towards it, like spokes on a bicycle; orange shows places where the vibration directions circle around it. This new information reveals the motion of the ancient gases in the universe when it was less than half a million years old, pulled by the force of gravity in the first step toward forming galaxies. The red band comes from our closer-by Milky Way.
