Animals must consume energy to balance expenditures, but what are the signals that tell animals when to eat? How are these signals communicated to the brain? How do neurons in the brain respond to these signals? These questions are central to understanding perception of hunger, and regulation of energy balance.

动物必须消耗能量来平衡支出，但是告诉动物什么时候吃东西的信号是什么？ 这些信号是如何传递到大脑的？ 大脑中的神经元如何对这些信号做出反应？ 这些问题是理解饥饿感和能量平衡调节的核心。
