Today we studied the biological approach to eating behaviour - we looked at neural mechanisms that underly eating behaviour and why this is all rather reductionist. We looked at the hormones ghrelin and leptin as well. This is an area heavily supported by animal research - this can be a problem for obvious reasons, and we saw this in the case of leptin which was initially hailed as a miracle cure for obesity.
Today's powerpoint is here.
