In this video, a special slicer called a “microtome” is used to cut the brain into pieces thinner than one strand of human hair:

Anyone else suddenly hungry for prosciutto?

"...retrain the neural circuitry that cues them to overeat." Is that doctor speak for changing bad habits?

This woman bravely donated her brain to science, and it will make a huge impact for our understanding of neuroscience. Show some respect, her family is probably following the story.

Obesity won't go away until we deal with carbon monoxide (CO, not CO2).

That means, give us the hydrogen vehicles...now.

@1--I've sliced my fair share of (non-human) brains with a microtome...I've often wondered about its potential applicability to the ultra-high-end delicatessen.

You're going to want to change the blade first, though...

@4: ACTUALLY, a quick Google Scholar search tells me that NOT A SINGLE PUBLISHED STUDY has found a link between CO exposure and obesity, or even looked to see if there is one. You're a moron. And as always, here are the top five reasons why hydrogen-powered vehicles will not pan out:
1. HYDROGEN IS NOT A FUEL SUPPLY
2. HIBRODEN IS NOP A FEUL SPPLUY
3. HARGOBLEM LD NIY E VULL ZUBLY
4. MIDROHEM SI WOB DA FEWL ESPLAY
5. GYDROHEM NIZ TON A FWELL PUSPLY

Also, the sheep-eating plant doesn't seem to deliberately trap sheep; that's most likely an incidental effect of its adaptations to keep herbivores off of its softer stems.

@2,

No. He's talking about breaking the emotional connection to food. It's difficult to "change bad habits" when your brain is giving you positive feedback for those "bad habits".

In before "AFGLHOIPOHI OBESITY IS NOT AN ILLNESS ALL BODIES ARE BEAUTIFUL".

@9 - Don't forget "WHERE'S THE DIAGNOSIS FOR ALL MY BAD HABITS!!! FAT PEOPLE JUST NEED TO EAT LESS!!!"
