Watch live online via UMConnect
The world is home to 1 billion overweight and 300 million obese people. There are a variety of hypotheses about the cause of the obesity epidemic. This seminar will address the central nervous system controllers that regulate food intake and the rewards associated with ingestion.
Allen Levine is the Dean of the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS). He has been a faculty member at the University of Minnesota since 1981 and worked at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center near Fort Snelling, Minneapolis, for more than 25 years, as associate chief of staff for research.
This article contains an excellent interview with Levine just after the announcement of his appointment as dean of CFANS in 2006. (UMNews)
