Research includes analysis of the neuroanatomical, endocrinological, and physiological bases of motivated behaviors. Primary emphasis is on the identification and mapping of the neural pathways involved in feeding and weight regulation.
Hypothalamic, autonomic, visceral, and hormonal controls of energy homeostasis are all investigated. More generally, both experimental and theoretical questions pertaining to the issue of localization of function are examined.
