“…This special issue includes eleven studies (four reviews and seven original studies). These seven original studies investigate the factors associated with this phenotype in different contexts: patients seeking treatment for an eating disorder, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder [ 12 , 13 ], patients seeking treatment for obesity (i.e., bariatric surgery candidates) [ 14 ], and non-clinical populations (i.e., persons not directly seeking treatment for these conditions) such as adolescents [ 15 ], female restrained eaters [ 16 ], and persons with weight-related disorders recruited in the general population [ 17 ]. This special issue also present four literature reviews that focus on: neuroimaging of sex/gender differences in obesity, in which FA is prevalent [ 18 ], involvement of the melanocortin system in binge eating, food reward and motivation [ 19 ], association between addictive-like eating behavior and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) [ 20 ], and a discussion about the FA concept and its practical implications through four complementary disciplines: addiction medicine, nutrition, health psychology, and behavioral neuroscience [ 21 ].…”
