Abstract

A mathematical model of two decision-making neural circuits for controlling food intake is presented. Results of some initial analog computer simulations are presented and demonstrate that the model exhibits stable steady states and thresholds for steady state transitions corresponding to experimentally observed behaviors characteristic of lateral and ventromedial hypothalamic interactions in food intake control. The relations of the model and simulations to experimental evidence are discussed.
