Given its non-invasive nature, there is increasing interest in the use of transcutaneous
vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) across basic, translational and clinical research. …

Ghrelin figures prominently in the regulation of appetite in normal‐weighed individuals. The
apparent failure of this mechanism in eating disorders and the connection to addictive …

In rodents, food-predictive cues elicit eating in the absence of hunger (Weingarten, 1983).
This behavior is disrupted by the disconnection of amygdala pathways to the lateral …

Background: Individuals with anorexia nervosa are thought to exert excessive self-control to
inhibit primary drives. Methods: This study used functional MRI (fMRI) to interrogate …

Non‐invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve
stimulation (taVNS), have considerable potential for clinical use. Beneficial effects of taVNS …

There is a well-established literature linking obesity to altered dopamine signaling and
brain response to food-related stimuli. Neuroimaging studies frequently report enhanced …

Basic research suggests that authenticity is a potential important antecedent of responsible
organizational behavior and occupational health. However, ambiguities concerning the …

Post-ingestive signals related to nutrient metabolism are thought to be the primary drivers of
reinforcement potency of energy sources. Here, in a series of neuroimaging and indirect …

Interoceptive feedback transmitted via the vagus nerve plays a vital role in motivation by
tuning actions according to physiological needs. Whereas vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) …

To cast valid predictions of future behavior or diagnose disorders, the reliable measurement
of a “biomarker” such as the brain activation to prospective reward is a prerequisite. …
