The control of food intake and energy metabolism depends on the interaction among energy
homeostasis, emotional factors (including the hedonic aspects of food), and environmental …

Obesity and other eating disorders are marked by dysregulations to brain metabolic,
hedonic, motivational, and sensory systems that control food intake. Classic approaches in …

Signals of energy homeostasis interact closely with neural circuits of motivation to control
food intake. An emerging hypothesis is that the transition to maladaptive feeding behavior …

Central regulation of food intake is a key mechanism contributing to energy homeostasis.
Many neural circuits that are thought to orchestrate feeding behavior overlap with the brain's …

With the bleak outlook that 75% of Americans will be overweight or obese in 10 years, it is
essential to find efficient help very soon. Knowledge of the powerful and complex neural …

Interest in the control of feeding has increased as a result of the obesity epidemic and rising
incidence of metabolic diseases. The brain detects alterations in energy stores and triggers …

Understanding the neurobiological controls of feeding behavior is critical in light of the
growing obesity pandemic, a phenomenon largely based on excessive caloric consumption …

Appetite and body weight regulation are controlled by the central nervous system (CNS) in a
rather complicated manner. The human brain plays a central role in integrating internal and …

Body weight is determined by a balance between food intake and energy expenditure.
Multiple neural circuits in the brain have evolved to process information about food, food …

The past decade has witnessed dramatic advancements regarding the neuroendocrine
control of food intake and energy homeostasis and the effects of peripheral metabolic …
