Metabolism

The set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms, allowing for the growth, reproduction, maintenance of their structures, and response to environments.

Dual-Center Theory

The hypothesis that one area in the lateral hypothalamus is the “on” center, the initiator of eating, while another area in the ventromedial hypothalamus is the “off” center, the terminator of eating. Current evidence indicates that although these brain regions are crucial for eating, the regulation of eating also involves other circuits.

Lateral Region
