Growing evidence highlights the crucial role of gut microbiota in affecting different aspects of obesity. Potential mechanisms for microbial control over eating behavior include microbiota influence on reward and satiety pathways, neurotransmitters release, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis modulation. dTMS is a methodology proved to be effective in modulating…
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions, becoming a global health concern. Promising results have been obtained by the application of Deep TMS in reducing nicotine dependence, alcohol craving, and cocaine abuse. Consistent with the dysregulation of the prefrontal cortex inhibitory control and brain…
Obesity is known to be associated with an altered thermoregulation as well as a dysregulation of sympathetic nervous system (SNS). Considering the ability of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) to modulate the SNS, we hypothesized a potential role of dTMS in affecting…
In obesity, metabolic and voluntary factors regulate appetite, and a dysregulation of the reward pathway was demonstrated in all addiction disorders. Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) is already used to modulate cerebral dopamine activation in neuro-psychiatric diseases. Objective: To assess the acute…
Behavioral and neurobiological abnormalities in addiction and obesity have led to the theory of food addiction in obesity (FAOB) and brain-behavior association studies. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies and treats various brain disorders. Cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS) TMS protocol, in which…
Obesity is highly prevalent in patients with schizophrenia and, in association with metabolic syndrome, contributes to premature deaths of patients due to cardiovascular disease complications. Moreover, pharmacologic, and behavioral interventions have not stemmed the tide of obesity in schizophrenia. Therefore, novel effective interventions are urgently needed.…
