Abstract
A boy experienced two episodes of intracerebral hemorrhage in the region of the right anterior temporal lobe. On both occasions, the bleeding was ushered in by an exclamation of intense hunger. The patient provides further evidence for the temporal lobe localization of the sensation of hunger. We describe a model of the neural system subserving feeding that incorporates the cortical locus of hunger.
