Abstract:
The study of appetitive behavior in relation to obesity is now being enriched by molecular-genetic findings in experimental animals with genetic obesity and associated "feeding disorders". The opinion is expressed that the mutual enrichment of the disciplines of behavior and molecular biology will place the study of human ingestive behavior on a firm scientific base.
