neural and hormonal 16 marker plan Flashcards
A03: research support
Shiiya et al (hormonal) ghrelin levels lower in obese patients ad high in anoreix patients
Ranson et all (neural) lesioning ventromedial hypothalumus caused rats to over eat didnt feel full
a03: counter to research support
non human research, all research done on rats, doesn’t consider human and rat differences. generalizations may be invalid
A03: social and cultural
- neural and hormonal is reductionist
-Stephen woods focused on lateral hypothalamus is outdated
eating and meal time impacted by cutrual and social factors different norms around eating for different culture’s won always be the same.
A03: oversimplifies
other biological elements play a role. hormone cholecystokinin (CKK) may be more powerful at suppressing appetite
Dual control theory is simple doesn’t consider other biochemicals.
who created dual control theory
Lashley
what is dul control theory
eating increases blood glucose levels sends signal to ventromedial hypothalamus produces feeling of satiety
when eating stops blood glucose decreases
signals lateral hypothalamus creating sensation of hunger
encourages eating
