Scientists are testing a drug known as tesofensine, which targets part of the brain that controls appetite. It makes the user feel full soon after starting a meal, and cuts the urge to snack. It was originally developed to treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases.
It alters levels of three brain chemicals involved in appetite control: serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline.
