Description
Obesity was historically considered a purely metabolic or endocrine disorder, and therefore evaded the interests of neuroscientists. This changed when obesity was first framed as a consequence of food addiction. As a result, some neuroscientists have utilised their accumulated capital from drug addiction research to attempt to develop new treatments for obesity. This has involved dissecting the neural circuits responsible for appetite, and more recently, characterising how the consumption of obesogenic diets high in sugar and fat induce neuroplastic changes to these structures.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
