The term neurobiological refers to the study of the biological mechanisms underlying the function and behavior of the nervous system, particularly the brain. It encompasses how neurons, neurotransmitters, hormones, and brain structures, along with their functions, interact to regulate cognitive, emotional, and physiological processes. In the context of eating behavior, neurobiological mechanisms explain how the brain controls hunger, satiety, cravings, and reward responses through neural circuits and chemical signaling. This field integrates insights from neuroscience, biology, and psychology to understand how biological factors shape behavior.
