This book disseminates current information pertaining to the
modulatory effects of foods and other food substances on behavior
and neurological pathways and, importantly, vice versa. This ranges
from the neuroendocrine control of eating to the effects of
life-threatening disease on eating behavior. The importance of this
contribution to the scientific literature lies in the fact that
food and eating are an essential component of cultural heritage but
the effects of perturbations in the food/cognitive axis can be
profound. The complex interrelationship between neuropsychological
processing, diet, and behavioral outcome is explored within the
context of the most contemporary psychobiological research in the
area. This comprehensive psychobiology- and pathology-themed text
examines the broad spectrum of diet, behavioral, and
neuropsychological interactions from normative function to
occurrences of severe and enduring psychopathological processes.
This book addresses limitations in other works that may
individually look at a one-way or unidirectional relationship
between food and behavior. It examines, in the context of
bidirectional relationship at multiple levels, the connection
between food and behavior. For example, it examines at both
preclinical and clinical levels, from genes to populations, how
components in food will affect our behavior and sensory responses
and how our behavior and sensory responses affect what foods we
eat, their pattern of consumption, and so on. In other words it
truly bridges the transdisciplinary divide. The book consists of
approximately 100 chapters (it is anticipated that chapters will be
added to the current roster), conveniently divided into seven
sections representing the various subdisciplines and speciality
areas, namely: General aspects Eating and food choice; Mental tasks
and performance: influence of diet Obesity and dieting; Eating
disorders Organic pathologies and interrelationships with eating;
and, Changing eating behavior and attitudes.
