Summary: This study aimed to evaluate if variability in baseline flexibility can enable differences in coping strategies, changes in neuroplasticity, and behavioral outcomes in responses to chronic social defeat stress (CSDS). The results showed that animals with high behavioral flexibility exhibited changes in their coping strategies during the CSDS protocol, and they also displayed higher dendritic complexity in certain cortical areas. Moreover, high flexibility was associated with better emotional responses and motivation. However, exposure to CSDS reversed the beneficial effects of high flexibility in male mice.

Summary: The coexistence of stress and paediatric obesity is linked by psychophysiological mechanisms, with stress responsiveness and eating behavior playing key roles. High stress levels in overweight youngsters led to increased stress vulnerability and higher fat/sweet snack intake, indicating a vicious circle. Stress responsiveness and emotional eating may be targets for preventing stress-induced overweight.

Summary: This study investigated the relationships among perceived stress, emotional eating, coping, and barriers to and motivators of healthy eating in college students. The results showed that emotional eating was associated with perceived stress, barriers to and motivators of healthy eating, and avoidance coping. Avoidance coping mediated and moderated the relationship between perceived stress and emotional eating. Contrary to expectations, baseline stress levels were not predictive of emotional eating one year later.

Summary: Eating behaviors in response to acute stressors vary greatly among individuals, with some eating more, some eating less, and some showing no change in food consumption. This study aimed to investigate the role of lifetime stressor exposure in moderating the relationship between eating expectancies and stress-induced negative affect on snack intake. The results showed that when eating expectancies were high, women with high lifetime stressor exposure consumed more M&M candies after acute social stress, while women with fewer lifetime stressors consumed less. These findings highlight the interaction between lifetime stressor exposure, eating expectancies, and acute stress-induced negative affect in predicting eating behavior. Further research with larger samples may help explain the variability in stress-eating and the contribution of lifetime stressors to obesity.

Summary: The fine-tuning of the endogenous stress response system is influenced by early attachment relationships, with a higher prevalence of insecure attachment in individuals with eating disorders (EDs). This study investigated the emotional and SNS reactivity to the TSST in women with EDs in relation to their attachment profiles. The findings suggest that adult attachment may be associated with variability in emotional and biological responses to a psychosocial stressor in women with EDs.

Summary: Existing research supports a direct association between parent's own emotional eating and their child's emotional eating, as well as correlations among parent emotional eating, feeding practices, and child emotional eating. This study adds to the literature by examining the indirect effects of parental feeding practices in the association between parent emotional eating and child emotional eating, and explores how these effects vary based on parent gender. The findings suggest that restrictive feeding partially accounts for the association between parent and child emotional eating, with variations based on parent gender.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the effects of environmental factors on eating behavior and food intake in toddlers. The results showed that food fussiness was more common in older children, children conceived with medical assistance, children exposed to distractions during meals, rewarded by parents to finish meals, free to eat at will, and those who ate only occasionally with the whole family. Unsatisfactory dietary diversification was not significantly associated with any variable.

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.
