Eating disorders (EDs) and overweight/obesity (OW/OB) are serious public health concerns
that share common neuropsychological features and patterns of disturbed eating. Reward …

Obesity has a major impact on metabolic health thereby negatively affecting brain function
and structure, however mechanisms involved are not entirely understood. The increasing …

Emerging evidence suggests that obesity impacts brain physiology at multiple levels. Here
we aimed to clarify the relationship between obesity and brain structure using structural MRI …

Schizophrenia is frequently associated with obesity, which is linked with neurostructural
alterations. Yet, we do not understand how the brain correlates of obesity map onto the brain …

Adolescent-onset major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with an increased risk of
recurrent depressive episodes, suicidal behaviors, and psychiatric morbidity throughout the …

Differentiating bipolar disorders (BD) from unipolar depression (UD) remains a major clinical
challenge. The identification of neurobiological markers may help to differentiate these …

Theorists have proposed several neural vulnerability factors that may increase overeating
and consequent weight gain. Early cross-sectional imaging studies could not determine …

We analyzed the putative association between abdominal obesity (measured in waist
circumference) and gray matter volume (Study of Health in Pomerania: SHIP-2, N= 758) …

Background: Obesity is highly prevalent and disabling, especially in individuals with severe
mental illness including bipolar disorders (BD). The brain is a target organ for both obesity …

Genetic and neuroimaging research has identified neurobiological correlates of obesity.
However, evidence for an integrated model of genetic risk and brain structural alterations in …
