'''Bal Krishan Anand''' (1917–2007) was an Indian physiologist and pharmacologist. He was credited for the discovery of the feeding center in the [[hypothalamus]] in 1951.<ref>[http://www.ijpp.com/IJPP%20archives/2007_51_2/103-104.pdf Obituary, Professor B. K. Anand, by Jayasree Sengupta], Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 2007, Vol. 51(2), pp:103-4.</ref> He is considered the founder of modern [[Neurophysiology]] in India.<ref>Review of Prof. B.K. Anand's scientific study: fifty years following his discovery of feeding centre. H N Mallick, Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology. 2001, 45(3), pp:269-95.</ref><br />
<br />
He was born in [[Lahore]] as Bal Krishan Anand in 1917. He was graduated from [[King George Medical College]] in 1940 and obtained his M.D. degree in 1948. He joined in 1949 the [[Lady Hardinge Medical College]] as Professor of Physiology.<br />
