Evidence from human and animal studies suggests that high-energy diets impair cognitive
function. However, the conditions for such impairments are unclear as studies have differed …

Over the past decade, a great deal of research has established the importance of cognitive
processes in the control of energy intake and body weight. The present paper begins by …

In animals, a Western style diet–high in saturated fat and added sugar–causes impairments
in hippocampal-dependent learning and memory (HDLM) and perception of internal bodily …

Animals fed a Western-style diet (WS-diet) demonstrate rapid impairments in hippocampal
function and poorer appetitive control. We examined if this also occurs in humans. One …

Human and animal data suggest that the hippocampus plays certain roles in regulating food
intake. However, its actual role may be far broader than currently envisaged, a claim …

There is increasing evidence for important roles of key cognitive processes, including
attention, memory and learning, in the short-term decision making about eating. There is …

This article describes a new and emerging psychological perspective on hunger, together
with the implications of that perspective, which is based upon learning and memory. Hunger …

Obesity is a health problem that has been associated with neuroinflammation, decreased
cognitive functions and development of neurodegenerative diseases. Parkinson's disease …

Animal data indicate that greater intake of fats and sugars prevalent in a Western diet
impairs hippocampal memory and tests of behavioral inhibition known to be related to …

The study of memory is commonly associated with neuroscience, aging, education, and
eyewitness testimony. Here we discuss how eating behavior is also heavily intertwined …
