Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction
Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) aggregates in families. The neostriatum, key to reward and attachment circuits, has the highest density of serotonin 4 receptors (5‐HT4R). Striatal 5‐HT4R is low in MDD and linked to familial depression risk. Poor parental bonding increases depression risk, yet whether nature and nurture converge on 5‐HT4R is ...

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.Addiction is a chronic relapsing condition characterized by compulsive reward seeking and impaired behavioral control, associated with major individual and societal burden. Mechanistic investigation in humans remains constrained by ethical limitations, uncontrolled exposure histories, and ecological confounds.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract As people age, there is a natural decline in cognitive functioning and brain structure. However, the relationship between brain function and cognition in older adults is neither straightforward nor uniform. Instead, it is complex, influenced by multiple factors, and can vary considerably from one person to another.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Placebo and nocebo effects on pain provide a model for investigating how cognitive and contextual factors modulate the physiological processes underlying nociception and its regulation. However, existing accounts remain fragmented and lack a unifying mechanistic framework linking brain, behaviour and autonomic responses.
