The goal for this special edition of Progress in Brain Research extends beyond merely probing the yet-to-be-uncovered links between physical exercise and cognitive improvement. We aim to advance our knowledge, pushing the envelope of what is currently understood. We are particularly focused on how purposefully structured physical activities, carefully chosen participant groups, and specific cognitive areas can optimize the cognitive and mental health benefits derived from physical exercise. The inaugural volume of this series introduces 3 review articles and 7 original pieces of research, encompassing both behavioral experiments and neuroimaging studies. Our focus is on experimental research that sheds light on the immediate and long-term impact of physical exercise on cognition as well as expert opinions and systematic reviews that compile current findings and suggest avenues for upcoming research.

An Evolutionary Approach to Understanding and Treating Anorexia Nervosa and Other Eating Problems embarks on an enlightening exploration of the intricate web that intertwines human evolution and the complex world of eating disorders. This book delves deep into the enigmatic realm of anorexia nervosa (AN), revealing the underlying mechanisms that have confounded clinicians for years. Drawing upon the latest research in neuroscience and genetics, Dr. Guisinger challenges conventional notions, contending that eating disorders are not simply psychological aberrations but rather adaptive responses forged by our ancestors' historical struggle against famine. This groundbreaking book unravels the neuroendocrine transformations that take place in genetically susceptible individuals when faced with starvation, shedding light on the bewildering juxtaposition of extreme hunger and the relentless fear of food.Each chapter guides readers through the intricate phases of treatment, offering a comprehensive roadmap for clinicians and caregivers. From the initial stages of treatment amidst starvation to the challenging journey of restoring patients to a healthy weight, this book provides a vital understanding of the physiological changes that must occur for a full recovery. This book also addresses the inherent flaws in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and showcases the outcomes of psychotherapy research. But beyond anorexia nervosa, Dr. Shan Guisinger extends her expertise to encompass a broader perspective on the evolutionary roots of various eating disorders, ultimately emphasizing the pressing need to acknowledge and accommodate the universal influence of culture's stringent beauty standards. An Evolutionary Approach to Understanding and Treating Anorexia Nervosa and Other Eating Problems is a paramount guide for clinicians and researchers alike, offering a fresh and illuminating approach that bridges the gap between science and compassion, ultimately leading us toward more effective treatments and greater empathy for those afflicted by these complex conditions.
