Staying Optimistic: The Trials and Tribulations of Leibnizian Optimism by Lloyd Strickland

“…As we shall see, while Leibniz’s doctrine did win a good number of adherents in the 1720s and 1730s, especially in Germany, support for it had largely dried up by the mid-1740s; moreover, while opponents of Leibniz’s doctrine were few and far between in the 1710s and 1720s, they became increasing vocal in the 1730s and afterwards, between them producing an array of objections that served to make Leibnizian optimism both philosophically and theologically toxic years before the Lisbon earthquake struck.…”

Recent advances in the characterization of genetically defined neurons that regulate internal‐state‐dependent taste modification in mice by Ken‐ichiro Nakajima

“…While some tastes are intrinsically appetitive, such as sweet, which is elicited from high‐calorie nutrients, the other tastes, such as sour and bitter, are aversive and elicited by toxic substances. In mice, taste signals are relayed by multiple regions of the brain, including the nucleus of the solitary tract, and the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) of the pons, before reaching the gustatory cortex via the gustatory thalamus. …”

Extra Fructose in the Growth Medium Fuels Lipogenesis of Adipocytes by Armin Robubi, Klaus R. Huber, Walter Krugluger
