- Amygdala responsible for food selection based on memory
- Inferior frontal cortext responsible for detecting smells and damage to it causes decrease in eating
- Amygdala responsible for food selection based on memory
- Lateral hypothalamus is activated when glucose levels decrease
- damage to LH in rats causes aphagia and stimulation of LH elicits feeding behaviour
- ventromedial hypothalamus is activated when glucose levels rise
- Damage to the VMH causes hyperphagia in rats
- it is now believed damage to the PVN causes hyperphagia
