On July 9-10, 2014, the Institute of Medicine's Food Forum hosted a
public workshop to explore emerging and rapidly developing research
on relationships among the brain, the digestive system, and eating
behavior. Drawing on expertise from the fields of nutrition and
food science, animal and human physiology and behavior, and
psychology and psychiatry as well as related fields, the purpose of
the workshop was to (1) review current knowledge on the
relationship between the brain and eating behavior, explore the
interaction between the brain and the digestive system, and
consider what is known about the brain's role in eating patterns
and consumer choice; (2) evaluate current methods used to determine
the impact of food on brain activity and eating behavior; and (3)
identify gaps in knowledge and articulate a theoretical framework
for future research. Relationships among the Brain, the Digestive
System, and Eating Behavior summarizes the presentations and
discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1
