Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Approximately 40% of Americans are obese. Globally, rates of obesity have doubled in the last 30 years, although this varies widely based on race, ethnicity, and official metrics used to define overweight or obesity. This Special Issue of “Dietary Factors and Interventions in Cognitive Neuroscience” aims to address two main topics: (1) adult obesity and its association with brain and/or cognitive outcomes; and (2) nutritional factors or interventions that provide insight into or positively benefit the brains of lean, overweight, and obese adults. I welcome submissions that address a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Any animal model or computational work that looks at the mechanisms of overweight and obesity and provides insight for brain or behavioral outcomes.
- In humans, associations with overweight or obesity and brain biomarkers including MRI, PET, SPECT, or other broad classes of imaging techniques.
- Nutritional supplements or other bioactive compounds that impact the brain, cognition, or emotion/affect outcomes.
- Specific dietary interventions (e.g., calorie restriction, MIND diet, etc.) and effects on brain or behavior outcomes.
