The effect of souvenaid on functional brain network organisation in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease: a randomised controlled study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Synaptic loss is a major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Disturbed organisation of large-scale functional brain networks in AD might reflect synaptic loss and disrupted neuronal communication.

Homeostasis balance, homeostasis imbalance or distinct motivational processes? Comments on Marks (2015) ‘Homeostatic Theory of Obesity’

Health Psychology Open, 2016
In his article, ‘Homeostatic theory of obesity’, Marks suggested that imbalances in homeostatic processes could explain weight gain and obesity. He proposes that over-consumption of high-caloric, low-nutrient and low satiating foods, combined with a ...

A General Life History Theory for Effects of Caloric Restriction on Health Maintenance [PDF]

BMC Systems Biology, 2011
Caloric restriction (CR) has been shown to keep organisms in a relatively youthful and healthy state compared to ad libitum fed counterparts, as well as to extend the lifespan of a diverse set of organisms. Several attempts have been made to understand the underlying mechanisms from the viewpoint of energy tradeoffs in organisms' life histories ...

Relations of change in fruit and vegetable intake with overall energy reduction and physical activity with weight change: Assessing theory-based psychosocial mediators

Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2019
Background: Increased physical activity and fruit and vegetable (FV) intake are typically suggested to counter obesity. Sustained behavior change in those areas has, however, been poor, possibly because of a lack of understanding of the effects of ...

Game-theoretical description of the go-or-grow dichotomy in tumor development for various settings and parameter constellations

Scientific Reports, 2023
A medically important feature of several types of tumors is their ability to “decide” between staying at a primary site in the body or leaving it and forming metastases. The present theoretical study aims to provide a better understanding of the ultimate

Head circumference as an epigenetic risk factor for maternal nutrition

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Nutrition indicators for malnutrition can be screened by many signs such as stunting, underweight or obesity, muscle wasting, and low caloric and nutrients intake. Those deficiencies are also associated with low socioeconomic status.

Impaired maturation of resting-state connectivity in anorexia nervosa from adolescence to adulthood: differential mechanisms of consummatory vs. anticipatory responses through a symptom provocation paradigm

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study examined resting-state (RS) connectivity in adolescent and adult patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) using symptom provocation paradigms.

Caloric effects around phase transitions in magnetic materials described by ab initio theory: The electronic glue and fluctuating local moments [PDF]

Journal of Applied Physics, 2020
We describe magneto-, baro-, and elastocaloric effects (MCEs, BCEs, and eCEs) in materials, which possess both discontinuous (first-order) and continuous (second-order) magnetic phase transitions. Our ab initio theory of the interacting electrons of materials in terms of disordered local moments has produced explicit mechanisms for the drivers of these
