Description: In reproduced authors' typescripts, 21 papers review the control of the fuel homeostasis in the brain and the role of the nervous system in the control of fuel deposition in the body. The perspective is methodological, emphasizing the application of advanced technologies to assess fuel transport and brain metabolism. The sections cover methods to study fuel homeostasis in the brain, brain fuel metabolism and the regulation of food intake, peptide signals in the nervous system, and neural response to abnormalities in fuel homeostasis.
