Each of these compounds is slightly different, and scientists are just beginning to figure out how they all work together (see diagram). What is clear is that all of them are important nodes along an elaborate network of interconnecting pathways that feed into, and out of, the hypothalamus, a brain structure that is the control center for weight regulation. The body produces hormones that activate the hypothalamus. The neurons in the hypothalamus send new messages back to the body. And just like subliminal messages spliced into a filmstrip, these signals powerfully affect our behavior even when we are not aware...

...works like this: a surgeon feeds a catheter from the groin into the affected blood vessel and then seeds the aneurysm with tiny platinum coils that promote clotting (see diagram). This seemed safer to Eastlund and would spare her a major operation. But, she wanted to know, are coils as effective as clips...
