Environmental influences, particularly food and danger cues, can powerfully drive or inhibit appetite, irrespective of physiological needs, which can lead to dysfunctional eating patterns. This talk will review neural circuits and cognitive processes underlying environmental control of feeding behavior in animal models. 
1. After participating in the webinar, learners will be able to describe how the findings from animal models are relevant to appetite and eating in humans and maladaptive environmental influences that lead to eating disorders.

2. After this webinar, learners will be able to apply what they’ve learned about how the environment affects neural circuits involved in appetite and advise patients on how these interactions can impact eating behavior.
Dr. Gorica D. Petrovich
Professor
Dr. Gorica Petrovich is a full professor with tenure in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Boston College. She is a recipient of Pavlovian Research Award, Alan N. Epstein Research Award, and has a Fellow status in the APS. Petrovich research team uses rodent models to study how cognitive and hedonic processes drive the motivation to eat beyond physiological needs and the underlying neural network plasticity mechanisms. This work in animals is relevant to our understanding the neural control of human appetite and how environmental influences could cause maladaptive eating.
