Controversy surrounds the construct of food addiction. The current review examines neurobiological evidence for the existence of food addiction as a valid diagnosis.
Recent neuroimaging studies suggest significant overlap in the areas of the brain that are activated in relation to both food and drug addiction. Specifically, areas of the brain implicated in executive functioning (e.g., attention, planning, decision-making, inhibition), pleasure and the experience of reward, and sensory input and motor functioning display increased activation among individuals with symptoms of both food and drug addiction. Proposed symptoms of food addiction mirror those comprising other substance use disorder diagnoses, with similar psychological and behavioral sequelae. Results of neuroimaging studies suggest significant overlap in the areas of the brain that are activated in relation to both food and drug addiction, providing support for continued research into the construct of food addiction.
食物成瘾这一概念存在争议。本综述旨在探讨将食物成瘾作为一种有效诊断的神经生物学证据。
最近的神经影像学研究表明，与食物成瘾和药物成瘾相关的大脑区域存在显著重叠。具体而言，与执行功能（如注意力、计划、决策、抑制）、愉悦和奖励体验以及感官输入和运动功能相关的大脑区域，在同时存在食物和药物成瘾症状的个体中显示出更高的活跃度。食物成瘾的拟议症状与其他物质使用障碍诊断的症状相似，具有相似的心理和行为后果。神经影像学研究的结果表明，与食物成瘾和药物成瘾相关的大脑区域存在显著重叠，为进一步研究食物成瘾这一概念提供了支持。
