Satellite Symposium of ICO2010
Regulation of Feeding and Energy Metabolism by the Brain
   

Date:
July 10, 2010 (Saturday)

Venue:
Clarion Hotel Sign, Stockholm, Sweden

Conference Theme:
This symposium under the theme of "Regulation of feeding and energy metabolism by the brain" is being organized and conducted by Professor Seiji Shioda (Showa University School of Medicine, Japan) and Dr. Christian Broberger (Karolinska Institutet, Sweden). It will be held as a satellite symposium of the XI International Congress on Obesity (July 11th - 15th, 2010).

The objective of this symposium is to invite researchers worldwide to present lectures on their cutting edge studies on the central regulation of feeding and energy metabolism, especially on the role of neuropeptides and GPCR ligands in animals and humans from a functional and morphological standpoint.

Program Topics
1) Molecular background
2) Hypothalamic integration
3) Integration of feeding behavior in brain
4) Peripheral control of feeding behavior
5) Feeding and energy metabolism in humans
