The NeuroComplex Interaction of Appetite Regulation: Brain, Body and Environment presents the latest research on why we eat, what makes us hungry, and how our brain controls our cravings. The book covers the data for how the brain, hormones, and different factors such as stress, the environment, and even food itself affects our desire to eat. Written for academics and researchers, this book helps facilitate a comprehensive understanding on how the brain influences appetite regulation, allowing readers to understand how neurobiological mechanisms can help treat patients involved with obesity, eating disorders, or other related conditions.

Readers will find this to be a reliable resource that connects current neuroscience research with practical applications in appetite and behavior.
