Abstract

Human nutrition constitutes a complex neurophysiological process determined by environmental, genetic, and hormonal factors. Human biology has neuroendocrine signals that trigger hunger, satiety, and determines the extent to which nutrients and certain foods are ingested. The homeostatic system that regulates appetite responds to the energy reserves in the body and to the functional mass of the same. In this participant various tissues, organs, hormones, and neural circuits throughout the body in a feedback loop between the brain and peripheral tissues. In addition, higher mental functions such as memory, attention and emotions are also involved in human nutrition, essential when determining the eating behavior of individuals. The understanding of these neurological mechanisms through chemical neurotransmitters that will be used for emergency cases in diseases related to the desire to eat such as obesity and its comorbidities
