Summary: Numerous studies have shown that repeatedly consuming a specific food within a short period of time can reduce individuals' liking and wanting for that food, known as sensory-specific satiety. Recent research suggests that this effect can also be elicited by repeated imagined consumption. The present study aimed to investigate whether repeated imagined consumption of one food could induce sensory-specific satiety for other foods. The results indicate that imagining consuming a high-caloric food repeatedly led to decreased liking and wanting for both the imagined food and other high-caloric foods, demonstrating the transfer of sensory-specific satiety based on repeated imagination without actual consumption. These findings have implications for nudging strategies aimed at promoting healthier eating behaviors.

Summary: People experience a discrepancy between their wanting for food and their liking of it, with the former declining to a greater extent after eating. This study investigates the predictors of these affective changes, including state, sensory, and memory-based factors. The results show that changes in flavor liking best predict state-based changes in food liking, while memory-based information about flavor liking and fillingness are significant predictors of state-based changes in wanting. Additionally, recollections of food fillingness significantly increase after lunch and are the best predictor of the affective discrepancy effect.

Summary: Food intake behavior is influenced by physiological and psychological processes, and the neuroendocrine regulation of food intake involves signals that modulate appetite, satiety, and hunger. Natural plant compounds are being studied for their potential in appetite control, but the research lacks conclusive physiological data, such as anthropometric evaluations and hormone analysis. More systematic clinical studies are needed to decode the hormone patterns regulating hunger and satiety and to correlate brain connectivity with appetite and satiety.

Summary: A questionnaire (RISE-Q) was developed to characterize reasons for meal termination with 47 influencing factors identified and separated into five distinct scales through factor analysis. Physical Satisfaction and Planned Amount were found to be the most frequently reported reasons for meal termination. The RISE-Q scales showed significant correlations with satiation-related scales, BMI, and measures of typical meal size, indicating potential clinical utility for targeted weight-management interventions.

Summary: The abuse of opioid medications, particularly oxycodone, has become a significant crisis, leading to overdose deaths and addiction. Misuse of oxycodone is driven by its pharmacological properties, market strategies, and false claims of non-addictiveness, contributing to its high likability and abuse susceptibility. Understanding the unique pharmacology and marketing tactics of oxycodone is crucial in addressing the opioid epidemic and preventing further harm.

Summary: Overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be related to how persons with SCI experience satiation, their eating frequency, and the context in which they eat their meals. Those with SCI rely less on physiological satiation cues for meal termination and instead rely more on hedonic cues. There are differences in meal contexts and eating frequency between SCI individuals and controls, with SCI individuals consuming fewer meals but having a higher overall eating frequency due to increased snacking. These factors likely contribute to overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after SCI.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and cognition during adolescence, and the intake of fat and sugar two years later. The study found that higher impulsivity and reward-seeking behaviors were related to greater fat and sugar intake in males, while higher negative urgency and BMI were related to greater intake in both sexes. These findings suggest that individuals with certain traits may be more at risk for weight gain due to overconsumption of unhealthy foods.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in changes in food accessibility and availability, leading to shifts in food habits and behaviors among people worldwide. A study conducted in Australia examined the self-reported changes in food habits and behaviors of adults during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The majority of respondents reported developing positive food habits, such as trying new recipes, cooking from scratch, and reducing take-away meals. The study also found that family involvement in food preparation and eating together increased during the restrictions. However, there were negative experiences, including difficulties in purchasing certain foods and limited access to food outlets.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sensory reactivity and feeding problems in young children. The results showed that taste/smell sensitivity was significantly associated with difficulties in texture transition/introduction, limited variety of foods, and both feeding problems. Additionally, children with total sensory reactivity or auditory filtering sensory reactivity had a higher prevalence of consuming a limited variety of foods. These findings highlight the importance of considering sensory reactivity as a potential predictor of feeding problems.
