Neuroendocrine regulation of appetitive ingestive behavior [PDF]
Food availability in nature is often irregular, and famine is commonplace. Increased motivation to engage in ingestive behaviors increases the chance of survival, providing additional potential opportunities for reproduction. Because of the advantages conferred by entraining ingestive behavior to environmental conditions, neuroendocrine mechanisms ...

Neuropeptide-Gated Perception of Appetitive Olfactory Inputs in Drosophila Larvae [PDF]
SummaryUnderstanding how smell or taste translates into behavior remains challenging. We have developed a behavioral paradigm in Drosophila larvae to investigate reception and processing of appetitive olfactory inputs in higher-order olfactory centers ...

Food as circadian time cue for appetitive behavior [PDF]
Feeding schedules entrain circadian clocks in multiple brain regions and most peripheral organs and tissues, thereby synchronizing daily rhythms of foraging behavior and physiology with times of day when food is most likely to be found. Entrainment of peripheral clocks to mealtime is accomplished by multiple feeding-related signals, including absorbed ...

Carbohydrates, Appetite and Feeding Behavior in Humans [PDF]
The view of carbohydrates in relation to obesity has changed over the past few decades from being conducive to overconsumption and weight gain to being protective. This article reviews the mechanisms by which carbohydrate is purported to protect against weight gain.

Sexual Behavior: A Seminal Peptide Stimulates Appetites [PDF]
A new study shows that female fruitflies eat more after mating, and that a multi-functional peptide provided in the seminal fluid of their mates induces this behavior. These findings contribute significantly to our understanding of mating behaviors and resource allocation, and may provide insights useful for controlling the reproduction of insect pests.

Behavioral Interventions for Antipsychotic Induced Appetite Changes [PDF]
Weight gain remains a well recognized yet difficult to treat adverse effect of many anti-psychotic drugs including agents of the first and second generation. The weight gain liabilities of antipsychotic drugs are partly associated with their ability to increase appetite.

The role of simulations in consumer experiences and behavior: insights from the grounded cognition theory of desire [PDF]
What are the mechanisms by which extrinsic and environmental cues affect consumer experiences, desires, and choices? Based on the recent grounded cognition theory of desire, we argue that consumption and reward simulations constitute a central mechanism ...

Imaginary relish and exquisite torture: The elaborated intrusion theory of desire [PDF]
The authors argue that human desire involves conscious cognition that has strong affective connotation and is potentially involved in the determination of appetitive behavior rather than being epiphenomenal to it.

Intra-accumbens baclofen, but not muscimol, increases second order instrumental responding for food reward in rats [PDF]
Stimulation of either GABA(A) or GABA(B) receptors within the nucleus accumbens shell strongly enhances food intake in rats. However the effects of subtype-selective stimulation of GABA receptors on instrumental responses for food reward are less well ...

Cerebellar BDNF promotes exploration and seeking for novelty [PDF]
Approach system considered a motivational system that activates reward-seeking behavior is associated with exploration/impulsivity, whereas avoidance system considered an attentional system that promotes inhibition of appetitive responses is associated ...
