Abstract

The majority of research has indicated a role for serotonin in inhibiting subsequent eating behavior. However, the effect of serotonergic activity on feeding is moderated by the specific serotonin receptor being stimulated, the location of receptor stimulation, the nutritional state of the animal, and other environmental factors. The current chapter discusses the effects of serotonergic activity on feeding under each of these moderating conditions as well as the clinical implications of these findings.
