Abstract

Multiple physiologic and neural systems contribute to the controls over what and how much we eat. These systems include signaling involved in the detection and signaling of nutrient availability, signals arising from consumed nutrients that provide feedback information during a meal to induce satiation, and signals related to the rewarding properties of eating. Each of these has a separate neural representation, but important interactions among these systems are critical to the overall controls of food intake.
