Abstract:

Daniel Pomp, a UNC professor of genetics, is renowned for research on animal and obesity genetics. Pomp investigates exercise, a powerful trait potentially capable of controlling and preventing obesity. Experiments on running mice show that they have an increased ability to exercise, but behavioral and brain studies show that they’re also more motivated to run.
