Hippocampal lesions produce memory deficits, but the exact function of the hippocampus
remains obscure. Evidence is presented that its role in memory may be ancillary to …

The lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) and the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH)
have historically been implicated in ingestive behavior, energy balance and body mass …

Animals identify, interpret, and respond to complex, natural signals that are often
multisensory. The ability to integrate signals across sensory modalities depends on the …

The background of feeding associated and metabolic diseases is not sufficiently understood
yet. Since gustatory alterations may be of particular significance in the above illnesses, in …

There is strong evidence demonstrating age-related differences in the acceptability of foods
and beverages. To examine the neural foundations underlying these age-related differences …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides a brief overview of anatomical and
neurophysiological data on the organization of the auditory cortex, together with some …

We aimed to investigate the relationship between BMI (body mass index) and the volumes of
the structures of the reward system (hippocampus, amygdala, accumbens, caudatum …

Bombesin-like peptides including gastrin releasing peptide and neuromedin C are known to
inhibit feeding. Bombesin receptors have been found in moderate to high densities in the …

We used a modified version of the Spatial Taste Test to assess taste intensity perception in
patients with either left or right temporal resection from the anteromedial temporal lobe …

Bombesin (BN)-like peptides including gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) are known to inhibit
feeding. In the amygdaloid body BN receptors have been found in moderate to high …
