| Quote: | TAUBES One of the things I left out of the book, for instance, is this theory that hunger is perceived by the liver.
INTERVIEWER Perceived, or controlled?
TAUBES Perceived. Or sensed by the liver. You know, your eyes collect photons, and then they send the signal back through the optic nerve. The perception of the universe is done in the inside of the brain, but the eyes are the sense organ that collect the photons. Your ears detect sound waves, but your perception of what you’re hearing is inside of the brain. This theory says that your liver senses fuel availability and then your brain integrates the signals from the liver and registers them as hunger or the absence of hunger.
INTERVIEWER Hunger is internal. It’s like the recognition. Hunger is not something external to the body.
TAUBES Let me re-phrase it. It senses fuel ability. Then your brain perceives it as hunger and initiates --- that would be a better way of putting it. But the sense organ of fuel availability is your liver. |
Thanks, I learned something.
