“…Importantly, intended consumption in this study positively correlated with factors known to predict actual eating, such as hunger and liking (e.g., Robinson et al, 2017). In line with previous work (e.g., Wilkinson et al, 2012), it is argued that the measure of intended consumption in the present study is likely to map well onto actual consumption.…”

“…The bogus taste test is a validated measure of eating behaviour used to test the effect of experimental factors on the consumption of palatable food 30 . In the present study, each participant was presented with three types of food, each of which was contained in a standardised white ceramic bowl.…”

Background: Previous research has found that exogenous oxytocin administration has the potential to modulate attentional biases in women with anorexia nervosa.Recent work has indicated that attentional biases to food may reinforce the recurrent binge eating behaviour characterising bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder.To date, however, no study has yet investigated the effect of oxytocin on attentional biases to palatable food in women with bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Methods:The present study employed a single-session cross-over design to test the hypothesis that a divided dose of 64 IU of intranasal oxytocin, administered as one intranasal dose of 40 IU of oxytocin followed by a top-up of 24 IU of oxytocin 80 minutes later, vs placebo administration administered in the same dosing schedule would reduce attentional biases towards food images in a dot probe task. We hypothesised that oxytocin administration would reduce vigilance towards food to a greater degree in women with bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder vs healthy comparison women. Twenty-five women with bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder and 27 comparison women without history of an eating disorder were recruited to take part in the study. Results:In contrast to our hypothesis, there was no main effect of diagnosis on attentional bias to food (fixed effect = 5.70, P = 0.363), nor a significant interaction between diagnosis and drug condition (fixed effect =−14.80, P = 0.645). There was a main effect of drug condition, such that oxytocin increased vigilance towards food vs neutral images in the dot probe task (fixed effect = 10.42, P = 0.044). A correlation analysis revealed that this effect was moderated by attentional bias in the placebo condition, such that greater avoidance of food stimuli in the placebo condition was associated with a greater increase in vigilance induced by oxytocin. Conclusions:The findings of the present study add to a mixed body of literature investigating the therapeutic effects of oxytocin in women. Future research would benefit from dose-response studies investigating the optimal dose of oxytocin for

“…The form of the taste test is commonly used in the eating literature and has been demonstrated to be a reliable metric for food consumption. Prior validation studies have shown variability in this kind of paradigm to be responsive to food palatability and level of hunger [22], and responsive to acute manipulations of executive function using cTBS targeting the left dlPFC [3,23]. Participants were given condition specific instructions during the lead-in to the taste test: participants in the facilitation condition were instructed to "eat as much as you like in order to make your ratings" while those in the inhibition condition were instructed to "eat the bare minimum in order to make your ratings.…”

Background: Prior studies have found that continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) targeting the left dlPFC results in reliable increases in consumption of calorie-dense food items. However, it is not known to what extent such effects are modified by cues in the immediate eating environment. Tempting environments (i.e., those saturated with appetitive eating cues) may lead to more reliance on cognitive control networks involving the dlPFC, thereby enhancing cTBS on eating.Objective/Hypothesis: The objective was to examine the extent to which cTBS effects on eating would be modified by contextual cues. It was hypothesized that cTBS effects on eating would be stronger in the presence of facilitating cues.Methods: Using a between-subjects factorial design, 107 adults were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: 1) active cTBS + facilitating cues, 2) sham cTBS + facilitating cues, 3) active cTBS + inhibiting cues, 4) sham cTBS + inhibiting cues. Following stimulation participants completed a flanker paradigm and a taste test during which quantity consumed was assessed surreptitiously.Results: Findings revealed a significant interaction between stimulation and cue type (F(1,102)=6.235, p=.014), such that the effects of cTBS were stronger for those in the facilitating cue condition. Conclusions:The effects of cTBS on eating are strengthened in the presence of facilitating cues.Methodologically speaking, facilitating cues may be a functional prerequisite for exploring cTBS effects on eating in the laboratory. Substantively, the findings also suggest that facilitating cues Indulgent Eating 3 in the eating environment may amplify counter-intentional food indulgence in everyday life via cognitive control failure.
