The Neurobiology of Binge-eating Disorder Compared with Obesity: Implications for Differential Therapeutics.

Author
Abstract
:

Emerging work indicates divergence in the neurobiologies of binge-eating disorder (BED) and obesity despite their frequent co-occurrence. This review highlights specific distinguishing aspects of BED, including elevated impulsivity and compulsivity possibly involving the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system, and discusses implications for differential therapeutics for BED.
