An overview of the central control of weight regulation and the effect of antipsychotic medication.

Journal of psychopharmacology (Oxford, England) - 1 Nov 2005

Tighe Sheila, Dinan Timothy

Abstract excerpt

Weight regulation is a complex system necessary for maintaining health. Obesity and cachexia are consequences of dysregulation and cause significant physical morbidity and mortality. In the developed world, obesity is a growing epidemic. A greater understanding of the neuroanatomy of weight regulation has been gained through advances in imaging and neural mapping techniques. The neural connections between key...
