Compare and contrast the ideas of set-point and settling zone
|
set-point: regulation of fat stores, signal from adipose, eating is biological, can control weight through drugs.
settling zone: little regulation of fat stores, no signal from adipose, eating is environmental, control weight by changing environment |
|
Why can the set point theory be shot down?
|
1. VMH lesions cause hyperinsulinemia (lots of insulin produced--constantly taking nutrients out of blook and storing glucose and fatty acids so animal never full b/c no nutrients in blood
2) VMH stimulations cause pain 3)LH lesions cause inhibition of parasympathetic (cuts of salivation 4) LH stimulation causes "stimulus bound behaviors" (dopamine exaggerates motor system |
|
