Neurosci Biobehav Rev
. 2022 Sep;
141:104847.
PMID: 36067964
Does the brain actively draw energy from the body when needed? There are different schools of thought regarding energy metabolism. In this study, the various theoretical models are classified into...

Compr Psychoneuroendocrinol
. 2022 Feb;
9:None.
PMID: 35211687
Background And Aim: It is known that persistent psychological stress predicts changes in body shape in two different ways: some stressed people lose weight, others gain weight. It is also...

Sprengell M, Kubera B, Peters A
Front Neurosci
. 2021 Nov;
15:740502.
PMID: 34803585
Cerebral energy supply is determined by the energy content of the blood. Accordingly, the brain is undersupplied during hypoglycaemia. Whether or not there is an additional cerebral energy demand that...

Front Neurosci
. 2021 Jul;
15:685031.
PMID: 34248487
This work joins a series that methodically tests the predictions of the Selfish-Brain theory. The theory postulates a vital ability of the mammalian brain, namely to give priority to its...

Front Neurosci
. 2021 Feb;
15:639617.
PMID: 33633541
The gluco-lipostatic theory and its modern variants assume that blood glucose and energy stores are controlled in closed-loop feedback processes. The Selfish Brain theory is based on the same assumptions,...

Psychoneuroendocrinology
. 2018 Feb;
89:177-184.
PMID: 29414030
Background: Delay discounting as a measure of impulsivity has been shown to be higher in obesity with an association of increased food intake. Moreover, obese humans showed a higher wanting...

Obesity (Silver Spring)
. 2017 Aug;
25(9):1625-1632.
PMID: 28767203
Objective: Stress is associated with body mass gain in some people but with body mass loss in others. When the stressor persists, some people adapt with their stress responses, whereas...

Psychoneuroendocrinology
. 2014 May;
45:43-8.
PMID: 24845175
Background: Ketone bodies are known as alternative cerebral energy substrates to glucose. During psychosocial stress, the brain of a normal weight subject demands for extra glucose from the body to...

Am J Hum Biol
. 2013 Sep;
25(6):725-32.
PMID: 24038669
Objective: We here studied how energy is allocated between brain and body both during the ontogenetic development from a child to an adult and during weight loss. Methods: We investigated...

PMID: 23565074
The reactivity of the stress system may change during the life course. In many-but not all-humans the stress reactivity decreases, once the individual is chronically exposed to a stressful and...
