Whole brain activation mapping and hierarchical clustering of Euclidean distances revealed distinct patterns of coactivation unique to stress-induced binge eating. At a pathway-specific level, PVTVglut2+ cells projecting to the medial insular cortex were specifically activated in response to stress-induced binge eating. Subsequent chemogenetic inhibition of this pathway suppressed stress-induced binge eating. We have identified a distinct PVTVglut2+ to insular cortex projection as a key driver of "emotional" stress-induced binge eating in female mice, highlighting a novel circuit underpinning this sex-specific behavior.]]> Mon 27 Nov 2023 15:54:48 AEDT ]]> Symptoms of Addictive Eating: What Do Different Health Professions Think? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39782 Fri 29 Jul 2022 13:27:48 AEST ]]> Health professionals' and health professional trainees' views on addictive eating behaviours: a cross-sectional survey https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40052 n = 126, 72%) reported that they have been asked by individuals about addictive eating. Half of the participants reported that they consider the term food addiction to be stigmatising for individuals (n = 88). Sixty percent (n = 105) reported that they were interested/very interested in receiving addictive eating training, with the top two preferred formats being online and self-paced, and face-to-face. These results demonstrate that addictive eating is supported by health professionals as they consult with patients presenting with this behaviour, which supports the views of the general community and demonstrates a need for health professional training.]]> Fri 15 Jul 2022 10:04:28 AEST ]]>
