The Estrogenic Inhibition of Eating

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology ((HBNE,volume 14))

Conclusion

Progress in analyzing the estrogenic inhibition of eating parallels that of many other problems in behavioral neuroscience: although many fascinating observations have been made, the surface of the problem has barely been scratched, and although the ultimate relevance of the enterprise is not at all certain, the potential seems great. Two general lessons have emerged in this work-as they have in many other areas of biological research. First, biological function can be understood only through converging views from multiple perspectives. No one perspective, be it genetic, physiological, or behavioral, reveals all the answers. Second, ultimate identification of biological function requires experimental methods that do not do violence to the normal operation of the system studied. Thus, every newly developed experimental technology brings with it the challenge, not simply of how to apply it to a particular problem, but, in Diamond’s (1995) apt phrase, “how to be physiological” in that application.
