"It is a great pleasure to introduce the Brain and Obesity Lecture Series in this issue of Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. These lectures were initiated in 2006 when the Intramural Center for Obesity was about to open at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, a state-of-the art facility that includes a 21-bed inpatient facility and three metabolic chambers and other equipment for studies on phenotyping subjects with obesity. An interdisciplinary group of clinical investigators was recruited that included endocrinologists, nutritionists, geneticists, exercise physiologists, and neuropsychologists. The fact that the Intramural Center for Obesity was part of the NIH Clinical Center, a 240-bed facility completely devoted to clinical research, offered a valuable opportunity for collaboration and cross-fertilization within clinical research and with translational and basic research. We shared with other colleagues, mostly in the field of neurosciences, the conviction that the brain plays a pivotal role in obesity. This notion, largely accepted today, was quite controversial at the time. Rather, it was thought that obesity was a problem of eating too much and exercising too little. Without challenging this obvious tenet--derived from the law of thermodynamics--we thought that there was much more to it. Another commonly held notion was that "a calorie, is a calorie, is a calorie," a notion that has now been revisited. The Brain and Obesity Lecture Series started us on a journey of exploration, a search for ongoing work based on the idea that the brain had something to do with the development of obesity. In the following five years, there were a total of 16 lectures. On March 22, 2012, ten of the original speakers, or members of their respective teams, returned to the NIH Clinical Center for a final round of talks and discussions"--P. vii.
