title: Central metabolic and humoral factors involved in the neural regulation of feeding.
abstract: Evidence is summarized for the theory that long-term regulation of energy balance is elaborated by an interface between matabolism and brain activity within the medial hypothalamus, while short-term satiety effects are a more direct consequence of dampened activity in lateral hypothalamic feeding circuits. Possible relationships of these functions to autonomic control circuits are discussed.
