{"product_id":"neuroendocrinology-of-appetite-isbn-9781118839324","title":"Neuroendocrinology of Appetite","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis cutting-edge, interdisciplinary volume  describes established and state of the art approaches for exploring the pathways that influence and control appetite, including: behavioural, electrophysiological, neuroanatomical, gene knockout and pharmacological techniques.   The book presents key peptide and neurotransmitter systems, together with newly emerging concepts of metabolic signalling and hypothalamic inflammation.  The impact of early life experience on neuroendocrine appetite circuits is also looked at, including early programming of these circuits by circulating hormones.  Finally, new emerging therapeutic approaches to appetite suppression are discussed, including those linked to bariatric (weight loss) surgery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNeuroendocrinology of Appetite\u003c\/i\u003e is especially focused on established and emerging technologies and approaches for investigating appetite control.  It is written so as to provide an overview of sufficient depth for an undergraduate or new scientist in the field to come up to speed in the complementary approaches used by researchers in this field. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book aims to appeal to all those with a basic, clinical or therapeutic interest in research into obesity and eating disorders. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Contributors ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeries Preface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Companion Website xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Neuroanatomy of Feeding Pathways 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBrian J.

Multiple feedback systems signal the need to consume food, and elicit the behaviours that result in the ingestion of foods of appropriate energy and macronutrient content. The efficiency of these systems is not only key to survival and reproduction, but also underlies clinical issues such as obesity and clinical inappetance, at opposite ends of the spectrum of malnutrition. Consequently, the neuroendocrine pathways in the brain that relate to metabolic need, food choice and desirability, and the feedback that these systems receive from the gastrointestinal tract and food processing are of importance in a wide range of related research areas in the biosciences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNeuroendocrinology of Appetite\u003c\/i\u003e provides researchers and students with a state-of-the-art account of this key interface between physiology and behaviour - the brain areas, pathways and signalling molecules, and the gut signals and processes that are involved in metabolic and hedonic drives to eat. Chapters cover contemporary research tools and approaches, including translational pre-clinical models, the activity of the human brain, and the future of surgical and pharmacological therapies for obesity and eating disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the fifth volume in the Masterclass in Neuroendocrinology Series, a co- publication between Wiley and the INF (International Neuroendocrine Federation) that aims to illustrate highest standards and encourage the use of the latest technologies in basic and clinical research and hopes to provide inspiration for further exploration into the exciting field of neuroendocrinology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeries Editors: John A.
