Associations of Device-Measured Physical Activity and Sedentary Time With Neural Responses to Visual Food Cues in Adults: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.

Self-reported physical activity is associated with lower brain food cue responsiveness in reward-related regions, but relationships utilizing objective physical activity measurement tools have not been explored. This cross-sectional study examined whether device-measured moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity and sedentary time are related to neural responses to visual food cues using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Fifty-one healthy adults (30 men, 21 women; mean ± SD: age 26 ± 6 years; body mass index 24.

Mindful eating and food intake: Effects and mechanisms of action.

A key component of mindful eating is paying attention to the sensory properties of one's food as one eats ("sensory eating"). Some studies have found this reduces subsequent food intake while others have failed to replicate these effects. We report four laboratory studies that (a) examine effects of sensory eating on subsequent intake and (b) explore potential mechanisms of action.

A scoping review exploring research investigating the influence of carbohydrate counting on eating behaviour and/or disordered eating in type 1 diabetes.

Aims: To evaluate evidence describing a potential association between carbohydrate counting (CC) in type 1 diabetes and eating behaviours and/or disordered eating behaviour (DEB).

Methods: Systematic literature searches were conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science,Scopus, and the trial register Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.

Results: 37 articles were eligible for review, 28 measured CC, 26 provided evidence of an association between CC and eating behaviours or participants' relationship to food, and four provided evidence of an association between CC and disordered eating.

Beyond Trial Counts: Considerations for Measuring Play and Engagement During Early Intervention for Autistic Children.

Play is critical to child development. In early childhood, object play evolves from exploratory behavior to complex symbolic play. Engagement during play, particularly joint engagement, is essential for learning and social interaction.
