Influence of blood meal on the responsiveness of olfactory receptor neurons in antennal sensilla trichodea of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti [PDF]
In female Aedes aegypti L. mosquitoes, a blood meal induces physiological and behavioral changes. Previous studies have shown that olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) housed in grooved peg sensilla on the antennae of Ae.

In vivo cranial bone strain and bite force in the agamid lizard Uromastyx geyri [PDF]
In vivo bone strain data are the most direct evidence of deformation and strain regimes in the vertebrate cranium during feeding and can provide important insights into skull morphology.

Hindbrain insulin controls feeding behavior
Pancreatic insulin was discovered a century ago, and this discovery led to the first lifesaving treatment for diabetes. While still controversial, nearly one hundred published reports suggest that insulin is also produced in the brain, with most focusing on hypothalamic or cortical insulin-producing cells.

Relationships between the Mandibles, Feeding Behavior, and Damage Inflicted on Plants by the Feeding of Certain Acridids (Orthoptera) [PDF]
[excerpt] In 1960 the author described three fundamental patterns of feed- ing in Orthoptera and their allies and emphasized the close correlation that exists between the insects\u27 mouthpart structure, food, and feeding pattern. An article by Anderson (

Melanocortins and feeding behavior
The melanocortin (ACTH/MSH) peptides exert a number of central effects. In the eighties, we described for the first time a role for melanocortins in the central control of appetite. We showed that the injection of ACTH-(1-24) into a brain lateral ventricle reduced food intake up to 76.6% in starved rats.

Feeding behavior, obesity, and neuroeconomics [PDF]
For the past 50 years, the most prevalent theoretical models for regulation of food intake have been based in the physiological concept of energy homeostasis. However, several authors have noted that the simplest form of homeostasis, stability, does not accurately reflect the actual state of affairs and most notably the recent upward trend in body mass
