Food addiction symptoms were assessed using the Yale Food Addiction Scale. Associations between FA symptoms and activation of the BLA and central amygdala were tested using bilateral masks and small-volume correction procedures in multiple regression models, controlling for BMI. Participants were 24.1 ± 2.6 years, with mean BMI of 27.4 ± 5.0 kg/m2 and FA symptom score of 4.1 ± 2.2. A significant positive association was identified between FA symptoms and higher activation of the left BLA to high-calorie versus low-calorie foods in the fasted session, but not the fed session. There were no significant associations with the central amygdala in either session. This exploratory study provides pilot data to inform future studies investigating the neural mechanisms underlying FA.]]> Wed 12 Oct 2022 11:14:14 AEDT ]]> The neurobiology of eating behaviour: an investigation into the construct of food addiction in young Australian adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22990 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:38:48 AEST ]]> Foods and dietary profiles associated with 'food addiction' in young adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28370 Wed 06 Apr 2022 13:59:43 AEST ]]> Addictive eating and its relation to physical activity and sleep behavior https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33439 Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:02:50 AEDT ]]> The relationship between "food addiction" and visceral adiposity in young females https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24494 Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:32:04 AEDT ]]> The prevalence of food addiction as assessed by the Yale Food Addiction Scale: a systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18914 35 years, females, and overweight/obese participants.
