It is becoming clearer how neurobiological mechanisms generate 'liking'and
'wanting'components of food reward. Mesocorticolimbic mechanisms that enhance …

Central regulation of food intake is a key mechanism contributing to energy homeostasis.
Many neural circuits that are thought to orchestrate feeding behavior overlap with the brain's …

Tunteet kaiken ytimessä. Tunteet ovat kaiken inhimillisen toiminnan ytimessä. Erilaiset
sosiaaliset tilanteet ja tapahtumat saavat meissä aikaan reaktioita, joita kutsumme tunteiksi …

Rhythmic gene expression is found throughout the central nervous system. This harmonized
regulation can be dependent on-and independent of-the master regulator of biological …

During the past 30 yr, investigating the physiology of eating behaviors has generated a truly
vast literature. This is fueled in part by a dramatic increase in obesity and its comorbidities …

Music, an abstract stimulus, can arouse feelings of euphoria and craving, similar to tangible
rewards that involve the striatal dopaminergic system. Using the neurochemical specificity of …

Body fat mass increases when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. In the long term,
a positive energy balance will result in obesity. The worldwide prevalence of obesity has …

Drug addiction and obesity appear to share several properties. Both can be defined as
disorders in which the saliency of a specific type of reward (food or drug) becomes …

Dopamine (DA) regulates emotional and motivational behavior through the mesolimbic
dopaminergic pathway. Changes in DA mesolimbic neurotransmission have been found to …

Music has existed in human societies since prehistory, perhaps because it allows
expression and regulation of emotion and evokes pleasure. In this review, we present …
