Abstract

Motivational-emotiogenic systems of the brain were shown to take part in regulation of specific appetite. The taste seems to be not only the control means determining the acceptability of food but a link of the motivational-emotional system as well. The taste aversions seem to play a permanent role in organisation of the feeding behaviour.
