Introduction: Physical activity and exercise are movement behaviors that support the lifestyle management of overweight and obesity. However, home-based exercise programs are commonly generic, and inconsistently undertake a holistic approach to program design.
Methods: This work applied the Behavior Change Wheel, supplemented with previously conducted interviews, to the development of a home-based exercise program, specifically for people living with overweight and obesity. This provided an understanding of the target behavior and identified a behavioral diagnosis. These findings were mapped onto the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behavior model and Theoretical Domains Framework, identifying changes needed and corresponding intervention functions.
Results: Suitable Behavior Change Techniques were identified, alongside Capability Opportunity Motivation-Behavior components needed to facilitate an increase in exercise behaviors, and five key intervention functions. This housed the delivery of 24 Behavior Change Techniques, including goal setting, feedback, monitoring and repetition.
Conclusion: Applying the Behavior Change Wheel has enabled detailed development of a home-based exercise program for adults living with overweight and obesity.

Historically, psychiatric diagnoses have been made based on patient's reported symptoms applying the criteria from diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders. The utilization of neuroimaging or biomarkers to make the diagnosis and manage psychiatric disorders remains a distant goal. There have been several studies that examine brain imaging in psychiatric disorders, but more work is needed to elucidate the complexities of the human brain.

Background: Huntington disease (HD), a neurodegenerative autosomal dominant disorder, is characterized by involuntary choreatic movements with cognitive and behavioral disturbances. Up to now, no therapeutic strategies are available to completely ameliorate the progression of HD. has various pharmacologic effects such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Armed with such associative information, we can infer the current value of predicted rewards based on changing circumstances and desires. To support this ability, neural systems must represent both the value and identity of predicted rewards, and these representations must be updated when they change.

A foundational question is whether social observation and experience engage common circuit mechanisms that enable behavioral change. While classic studies on social learning have shown that aggressive behaviors can be learned through observation , it remains unclear whether aggression observation promotes persistent neural changes that generalize to new contexts.

These compartments exhibit distinct anatomical, neurochemical, and pharmacological characteristics and have separable roles in motor and mood functions. Little is known about the functions of these compartments in humans.
