Abstract
Significant advancements have been made in the past century regarding the neuronal control of feeding behavior and energy ex-penditure. The effects and mechanisms of action of various peripheral metabolic signals on the brain have become clearer. Molecu-lar and genetic tools for visualizing and manipulating individual components of brain homeostatic systems in combination with neuroanatomical, electrophysiological, behavioral, and pharmacological techniques have begun to elucidate the molecular and neuronal mechanisms of complex feeding behavior and energy expenditure. This review article highlights some of these advance-ments that have led to the current understanding of the brain`s involvement in the acute and chronic regulation of energy homeo-stasis.
