The hindbrain is mostly known to participate in eating behaviour by controlling short-term meal parameters and aversive responses to gut malaise. Cheng et al. review current evidence revealing non-aversive neuronal circuits in the hindbrain that are relevant for initiation and termination of homeostatic feeding, as well as for the long-term control of body weight.
