Recent research and theory point to the possibility that hippocampal-dependent learning and memory mechanisms translate neurohormonal signals of energy balance into adaptive behavioral outcomes involved with the inhibition of food intake. The present paper summarizes these findings and ideas and considers the hypothesis that excessive caloric intake and obesity may be produced by dietary and other factors that are known to alter hippocampal functioning.
近期的研究和理论指出,依赖海马体的学习和记忆机制有可能将能量平衡的神经激素信号转化为与抑制食物摄入相关的适应性行为结果。本文总结了这些发现和观点,并探讨了一种假说,即热量摄入过多和肥胖可能是由已知会改变海马体功能的饮食及其他因素导致的。
