Weight-control brain science

by Alix Day
1

Which hypothalamic area integrates peripheral signals like leptin and ghrelin to regulate hunger?

2

Which neurons in the arcuate nucleus stimulate appetite?

3

Which neurons in the arcuate nucleus suppress appetite?

4

Name a brain region that receives signals from hypothalamic feeding circuits to influence feeding behavior.

5

Which system modulates the hedonic value of food beyond homeostatic needs?

6

After weight loss, what happens to resting energy expenditure tends to?

7

Which hormone rises after weight loss, increasing hunger?

8

Which hormones are typically reduced after weight loss, diminishing satiety signals?

9

Which intestinal hormone contributes to satiety and insulin release that is often decreased after weight loss?

10

Which two systems together influence both energy balance and the hedonic drive to eat?

Feedback

The hypothalamus is central in energy balance and integrates peripheral signals to regulate appetite.

AgRP/NPY neurons are orexigenic and promote feeding.

POMC/CART neurons are anorexigenic and promote satiety.

PVN is a key hypothalamic target influencing feeding decisions.

The mesocorticolimbic system involving dopamine/serotonin modulates hedonic eating.

Weight loss commonly lowers resting energy expenditure, hindering maintenance.

Ghrelin stimulates appetite and food intake post-weight loss.

Satiety hormones like leptin, GLP-1, CCK, and PYY often fall after weight loss.

GLP-1 promotes satiety and insulin secretion; levels may drop after weight loss.

Energy balance is regulated by hypothalamic circuits while hedonic drive is via the reward system.
