About this Research Topic
We are now entering the third decade of the 21st Century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of Mental Health. Frontiers have organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in science to be at the forefront of science in different fields of research within Mental Health Research.
The Neuroscience portfolio at Frontiers is launching these Research Topics to promote international awareness of Mental Health Disorders. Over the past few decades, major progress has been made toward removing inequalities for people with Mental Health Disorders. However, in 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, a majority of countries announced lockdowns, impacting more than 90 per cent of young people worldwide. Many people with Mental Health Disorders have been especially hard hit. Studies show that they have been disproportionately affected by increased loneliness, disruptions to routines, and services and support systems that they rely on.
This Research Topic article collection will focus on neuroscience research that can inform solutions for creating a culture of awareness, understanding, and solidarity, with this Topic focusing on the progress and challenges still faced in understanding the Behavioural Neuroscience of Eating Disorders
The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions from researchers around the globe that describe the state of the art, outlining, recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges.
This special edition Research Topic aims to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the field of Behavioural Neuroscience and Eating Disorders and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the status of the art of the Behavioural Neuroscience field. This article collection will inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
This topic focuses on, but is not limited to,
• Common behavioural factors that are common across Eating Disorder Subtypes
• How neural pathways play an important role in consummatory behaviours
• How the corticostriatal limbic and dorsal cognitive neural circuitry can make drugs and food rewarding, but also allows for mechanisms that may inhibit their use
• Proposed models to explain extreme consummatory behaviours
•神经调制奖励和抑制
• Reward Processing in Eating Disorders
• Inhibitory Cognitive Control in Eating Disorders
• The clinical implications of Reward and Inhibition pathways in Eating Disorders
