Distributed Neural Control of Energy Balance: Contributions from Hindbrain and Hypothalamus

Grill, Harvey J.·2006·Obesity

Abstract

Data are reviewed that support the hypothesis that the neural control of energy expenditure is distributed among several brain sites. This view contrasts with that expressed most commonly in literature, that a single site—the arcuate hypothalamic nucleus—receives and integrates signals of relevance to energy status assessment and engages the effector circuits that orchestrate responses that maintain energy balance. The data reviewed support a contribution from medullary neurons, including those of the nucleus of the solitary tract, in the integration of signals of relevance to energy balance and in the issuing of commands to local behavioral and autonomic effectors. Experimental evidence is discussed that supports the following specific conclusions: hindbrain neurons integrate oral and gastrointestinal signals and issue commands to local motor circuits that control meal size; leptin's effect on food intake may be mediated, in part, by a direct action on the hindbrain neurons that respond to gastric distention; deprivation signals, such as the fall in leptin level, affect gene expression outside of the hypothalamus with reductions in proglucagon and proopiomelanocortin message seen in nucleus of the solitary tract‐rich tissue; and that hindbrain neurons contribute to the control of energy expenditure seen with food deprivation and increases in expenditure after cold exposure or starvation. Future work is needed to define how the nucleus of the solitary tract and arcuate nodes of the central energy balance control network interact to collectively, or separately, influence specific aspects of energy balance control in the intact brain.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
