Sponsored by IAFNS, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Monell Chemical Senses Center and the Ingestive Behavior Research Center at Purdue University
The goal of the workshop was to better understand and gain cross disciplinary perspectives on the current research in neurobiology of the human food reward systems. The workshop also examined current scientific basis and debate on food and addiction, and identified knowledge and research gaps, and future research and collaboration needs in human food reward systems.
