Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dietary intake is essential for sustaining life and it is carefully regulated based on internal needs by brain circuits. Although eating behavior is not typically labeled as ‘addictive’ in normal circumstances, some individuals can develop a compulsion for this behavior, similar to drug addiction. In fact, both drug-seeking behavior and food/eating addiction involve similar neural pathways. However, there is still an ongoing debate in the scientific community regarding the “food addiction concept” and this paradigm is recurrently revisited. Major controversy exists because food addiction can be considered as a substance-related disorder (food addiction), or a non-substance-related disorder (eating addiction). In this context, the Special Issue, “The Relationship between Food Addiction/Eating Addiction and Dietary Intake” aim to shed light on deeper in the understanding of the topic, considering the substantial gaps in the existing literature.
