Studies in neuroscience with applications to humans offer clues about what makes us start eating, and when we stop.

Serotonin neurons in the brainstem are not independent, as once thought, but interact to influence decision-making.

In a new study, researchers have found that mice can instinctively exhibit rescue-like behavior toward anesthetized ...
