Neural Correlates of Eating Habits and Nutritional Behaviors in the General Population: A Systematic Review of Observational Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Eating habits and nutritional behavior impact brain structures and lifestyle modification, yet their bidirectional relationship with neural structures remains underexplored. This review aimed to shed light on this complex relationship in the brain-behavior axis by reviewing publications that have examined the relationship between eating habits, nutritional behaviors, and their neural correlates.

Methods

For this review, three databases of Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science were primarily searched. Twenty-one English-language original papers published up to January 2025 were ultimately included focusing on the general population (healthy individuals covering all age groups) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the neuroimaging modality.
