The neuroanatomy of eating and drinking behavior.
For a number of years, the hypothalamus has been assigned the central and virtually exclusive role in regulating eating and drinking behavior. Now this concept is being challenged by new experimental evidence showing that ingestive as well as other behaviors are profoundly influenced by several neural tracts, particularly the neuroamine pathways, that may pass through the hypothalamus.
