Informationen zum Autor Gerard P. Smith, M.D., is Professor of Psychiatry (Behavioral Neuroscience) at Cornell University Medical College and Director of the Edward W. Bourne Behavioral Research Laboratory at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. Klappentext This is the first comprehensive, critical review of all the recent evidence on the neurophysiological mechanisms of satiation. It deals with the stimuli at sites in the mouth, stomach and intestine that initiative this negative-feedback process, provides a detailed behavioral analysis, and reviews the satiating effects of cholecystokinin, bombesin-like peptides, lucogen and insulin as well as brain serotonin.
