The brain responds to macronutrients via intricate mechanisms. We review how the brain's
neural systems implicated in homeostatic control of feeding and hedonic responses are …

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 …

The brain plays a key role in the controls of energy intake and expenditure, and many genes
associated with obesity are expressed in the central nervous system. Technological and …

Since the late 1970s obesity prevalence and per capita food intake in the USA have
increased dramatically. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the hyperphagia that …

Food intake and energy expenditure are key regulators of body weight. To regulate food
intake, the brain must integrate physiological signals and hedonic cues. The brain plays an …

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 …

While much has been elucidated about the hypothalamic controls of energy balance, the
epidemic of obesity continues to escalate. Recent work has suggested that extra …

Food intake regulation in humans is a complex process controlled by the dynamic
interaction of homeostatic and hedonic systems. Homeostatic regulation is controlled by …

In the course of evolution, the need to eat has powerfully shaped biological structure and
function. As a result, nutrient-depletion signals strongly activate neural mechanisms that …
