Thematik

The high incidence and costs of eating and metabolic disorders make it indispensable to experimentally test new theoretical considerations, and to employ their conclusive results in basically new clinical protocols. Students at early stage of their studies are, thus, encouraged to familiarize with new theoretical aspects and experimental findings.

Neural and humoral mechanisms in the central feeding control and metabolic regulation. Body weight control in health and disease. Peripheral and central taste information processing; gustation in the central regulation of food and fluid intake. Obesity, diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome: New interpretations.
