Biography
Luka Levata is currently a Doctoral Researcher at Center for Brain, Behavior and Metabolism (University of Lübeck). With his academic background in neuroscience, he is interested in deciphering neural circuits in the brain that regulate feeding behavior and metabolic activities. The brain incessantly communicates with other body organs to control all homeostatic processes, including energy expenditure. He is using animal models to investigate mechanisms of energy expenditure under physiologically relevant conditions.
