RE: Alcohol May Fool Your Brain Into Thinking You Are Starving
I am really looking forward to see the follow-up of such a study (let's hope there will be some).
In many biology / health studies, I am always impressed to see the smallness of the size of the samples. Is it so hard to get enough statistics in these fields?
I think the main limiting factor is cost and time in these studies. Because of the way they were doing this - the 3 part nature of the actual experimentation, the electrical monitoring of those Agrp neurons etc it is probably too time consuming and labour intensive to have a larger sample size.
