Appetitive Behavior
This seminar is comprised of professors, research scientists and physicians from institutions of higher learning and industry in the greater New York area with a common interest in the biological behavioral bases of appetitive behavior. Four major areas of interest are found within the group: 1) the control of food and fluid intake in man and animals and their effects on variation in body composition; 2) disorders with links to ingestive behavior such as obesity, bulimia, anorexia nervosa, and diabetes; 3) the role of the brain from pharmacological, physiological, and neuroanatomical perspectives on the control of ingestive behavior; 4) cognitive, social and environmental controls of ingestive behavior. The seminar thus combines interests in basic control mechanisms with clinical applications.
