Binge eating disorder is a new category in DSM-5 and highly associated with higher body mass index. The neural mechanisms that underlie binge are of great interest order to improve treatment interventions. Brain underlying drug food craving suggested be similar: for example, both reported increased activity the orbitofrontal anterior cingulate cortex, diminished regulatory influence from lateral prefrontal circuits. Several studies have begun assess potential benefits brain stimulation...

Research on potential brain circuit abnormalities in binge eating disorder (BED) is limited. Here, we assess white matter (WM) microstructure obese women with BED.Diffusion tensor imaging data were acquired, and tract-based spatial statistics used to examine WM BED who (n = 17) compared normal-weight (NWC) (OBC) 13). Body mass index (BMI) was a covariate the analyses.The group (vs. NWC) had greater axial diffusion (AD) forceps minor, anterior thalamic radiation, superior inferior...

ABSTRACT Objective: Verify the clinical efficacy and safety of a low-cost tDCS device, in trial for major depressive disorder. Methods: 168 persons were recruited; 32 depressed individuals with moderate or severe symptoms (HDRS17 scores higher than 18) included randomized (16 each group). The intervention consisted 10 active anodal sessions at 2 mA 30 minutes over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; sham. main outcome was HDRS17; secondary outcomes satisfaction (TSQM II) quality life...

The cingulate gyrus was the only tract that differed between OBC and NWC groups.A higher number of binge-eating episodes in past month correlated with MD (r = 0.64, p= 0.007, unadjusted) RD 0.606, 0.013, right uncinate fasciculus. Conclusion:This study found women BED show alterations pathways involved integrating information connecting limbic orbitofrontal regions.This raises possibility is associated altered fronto-limbic structural connectivity.As analyses were controlled for BMI, WM...
