Prof. Denis Burdakov is a leading neuroscientist whose research reveals how neural circuits coordinate energy balance, arousal, and behavior under real physiological conditions. His work on hypothalamic networks, including orexin-expressing and metabolically sensitive neurons, demonstrates how the brain integrates environmental stimuli, internal energy reserves, and behavioral priorities. He combines cutting-edge imaging, cellular physiology, and in-vivo behavioral analysis to uncover fundamental principles of metabolic and stress regulation.
