Beginning June 1, all submitting authors will be required to provide an ORCID iD when uploading a manuscript for consideration by Obesity. This requirement will apply to the submitting author only, but all authors will be able to associate an ORCID iD with their Scholar One account.
By providing a unique and persistent digital identifier, an ORCID iD easily connects you to your achievements and contributions, meaning no one else will get credit for your work. Funders, institutions and societies can easily identify you and your research, and you can easily comply with funder mandates. Also when you associate your ORCID iD with your Obesity author account, our publisher can deposit your author iD to CrossRef, allowing your ORCID record to be automatically updated every time you publish in our journal.
Using your Obesity Scholar One account, you can create a new ORCID iD or associate your account with an existing iD in less than 2 minutes! See full instructions here.
Please contact the Obesity Editorial Team at obesity@editorial.org with any questions about our submission process.

TOS is honored to have both Dr. Harvey Grill and Dr. Joel Elmquist as Key Lecturers for the Neuroscience Track at ObesityWeek 2017.
Dr. Grill, a past president of TOS, and Dr. Elmquist are among the world’s top echelon of investigators researching obesity using rodent models, and in particular the neuroanatomical basis for body weight regulation. They are responsible for some of the most important revelations about the roles of the hindbrain and hypothalamus in the control of eating and body weight in addition to serving as mentors for a host of other PIs who are now making important contributions of their own to the field.

The zona incerta area is not largely studied but receives input from many parts of the brain. The team found that mice who received deep brain stimulation in this area actually portrayed binge eating characteristics.

Obesity in childhood has long term health implications stretching into adulthood, a new study in the journal Obesity Reviews reveals.
Examining data collected from over 300,000 participants across 18 studies, researchers from the University of Surrey identified increased arterial damage and enhanced likelihood of pre diabetes in participants who were obese in childhood. The damage, an increased thickness of these vital arteries, heightens the likelihood of an individual suffering from a cardiovascular ailment, such as heart disease, in later life.
