The paper uses reinforcement learning models and fMRI to analyze cognitive flexibility differences in Gambling Disorder and Cocaine Use Disorder, finding distinct neural and behavioral patterns.

The paper identifies a stress-sensitive anorexigenic pathway from the medial prefrontal cortex to the lateral hypothalamus in mice and shows its role in regulating food intake during stress.

This study examines how body weight and energy homeostasis affect effective connectivity between hypothalamic regions using resting-state fMRI in humans.

The paper uses neural network modeling to show increased top-down excitation from the insula to the hypothalamus and reduced prefrontal cortex excitation in obesity, regardless of hunger state.

This study examines how age and BMI interact to affect cortical thickness in adolescents and adults, finding differing effects across age groups.
