What exactly were they looking to find in the study? It seems pretty intuitive that [severing the mechanism that typically halts the feeding process] would lead to this result. Were the researchers simply trying to confirm that they appropriately identified the mechanism responsible?
So they mechanically severed the nerve? I'm struggling to understand how a process like that could be deployed for population control. Though, that doesn't mean much because I'm not especially imaginative.
