Episode: The CNS and Pandemic Obesity: The Appetitive Reward Pathway, Energy Expenditure, and Neuroendocrine Signaling. DJGPhD. 02.Jan.2022 Authentic Biochemistry Productions.
Description: The CNS processes nutritional (biochemical) signaling from the external and internal environment during and subsequent to dietary ingestion. During the  initiation phase, affective  (limbic) and executive (PFC/OFC) attention is  facilitative toward  ingestive behavior linked to appetitive hunger stimulation via neural, visceral, and endocrine networking including memory cues that obtain opportunity to consume pleasurable  high caloric density nutrition.
