## Abstract Several lines of evidence indicate an involvement of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in body weight regulation and activity: heterozygous __Bdnf__ knockout mice (__Bdnf__^+/−^) are hyperphagic, obese, and hyperactive; furthermore, central infusion of BDNF leads to severe, dose‐
