Eating for hunger or pleasure? Regulating feeding behaviours involves diff
Updated : 4 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 27 (ANI): Many times we eat, not because we are hungry, but because of social pressures or because the food is so appetising, that, even though we are full, we just want another bite.

Regulation of brain circuit signals can help with obesity
Updated : 4 years, 9 months ago IST
Washington [US], May 30 (ANI): Similar to any good story, feeding has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The process starts with appetite prompting the search for food, continues with eating the food and finally ends when satiation hits and the consumption of food is stopped.
