Appetite Interrupted

1st Edition
November 1, 2025
James A. Carr
English

Appetite Interrupted: The Role of Predators in Shaping the Behavioral Ecology and Physiology of Satiety examines the mechanisms that suppress feeding in vertebrate animals within the physiological and ecological contexts that drove their evolution. It emphasizes the role of predation as a selective pressure, noting that the adaptive significance of these inhibitory mechanisms may help identify novel neuroendocrine pathways in future research. Written by a leading expert in the field, this book systematically explores the behavioral ecology, evolutionary pressures, physiological processes, and stressors that impact foraging and feeding behaviors in vertebrates. Early chapters address why animals stop eating, reviewing the selective pressures that drive the evolution of both slow and rapid mechanisms for suppressing hunger and appetite. Central chapters delve into the physiological controls that have evolved to inhibit feeding, including the immense impacts of stress, anxiety, and fear on food intake. The book concludes with an examination of these pathways in humans and the evolution of obesity. While Appetite Interrupted comparatively approaches the mechanisms controlling food intake, predation, and hunger from an ecological perspective, its coverage of disordered satiety translates to practical and clinical applications of human nutrition. It is therefore an indispensable resource for students, researchers, and industry professionals across broad animal science and healthcare fields.

Imaging Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Brain Disorders

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a critical role in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the brain, the clearance of toxic metabolites, and protection of the central nervous system (CNS) from infection. Compromised or impaired BBB function is implicated in a number of serious brain diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumors, traumatic brain injury (TBI), cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Emerging medical imaging technologies, in particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have allowed in vivo imaging of natural variation of BBB function with aging and during sleep, as well as BBB dysfunction in a range of brain disorders with high socioeconomic impact. Imaging Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Brain Disorders introduces the structure and function of the BBB, its role in the pathogenesis of brain disorders, and state-of-the-art medical imaging technologies for imaging BBB function in both the healthy and diseased brain.With this book the reader will learn: The structure and function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB); The role of BBB in maintaining normal brain function (e.g. aging and sleep); The type of BBB aberrations in brain disorders - stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral small vessel disease, Alzheimer's disease, and sleep apnea; Modern medical imaging technologies (e.g. MRI) for in vivo imaging of BBB function in both the healthy and diseased brain; How imaging of BBB can help monitor and cure brain disorders; The potential of BBB imaging in early detection of neurological disorders, facilitating timely and effective treatment strategies.
