Levine AS, Jewett DC, Kotz CM, Olszewski PK (2022) Behavioral plasticity: Role of neuropeptides in shaping feeding responses. Appetite 174:106031. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2022.106031 PMID: 35395362
Objective: Review studies on feeding behavior involving neuropeptides that influence behavioral plasticity – primarily opioids, orexin, neuropeptide Y, and oxytocin.
Summary: Eating behavior is influenced by a number of external factors, including time of day, type of food available, energy balance state, and stressors. The reviewed work underscores that environmental factors play a critical role in feeding behavior and energy balance, but changes in eating behavior also result from a multitude of non-environmental factors, such that there can be no single mechanism or variable that can explain ingestive behavior.
