Research Interests
Bruce King Ph D. main interests lie in Biopsychology; the biological bases of feeding behavior and obesity; and the effects of sex education on sexual attitudes and knowledge. Dr. King's previous research has explored the role of insulin and glucocorticoid hormones in the development of obesity. Dr. King's current interests include the role of the amygdala in the regulation of food intake and body weight.
