This book provides a thorough examination of the biological significance of hunger in health and disease, offering the author's insights on the gastric origin of hunger. Investigating the relationship between hunger and appetite, the study outlines various theories on the mechanisms involved in the genesis of hunger. The author's research builds on a century and a half of scientific work on the subject, and establishes that the gastric hunger pangs are caused by contractions of the empty stomach. They show that hunger involves both a central nervous component and peripheral afferent signals from the stomach. The book also delves into the role of appetite in the process of feeding, covering sensory nerves, chemical stimulation, and psychological factors.
