The problem of obesity among children and adolescents is becoming more and more significant every year due to the increasing prevalence and its complications. Altered brain functioning is noted in obesity and contribute to eating behavior as well as the brain-gastrointestinal tractvisceral fat axis. This literature review is focuses on the issues of neuroimaging studies of the brain in obesity in childhood and the possibilities of various methods in the diagnosis and prediction of disorders. Medline and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases from 2000 to 2021 were used for the literature search.

The study examines the effect of heart rate variability (HRV) on the cardiac defence response (CDR) and eating disorder symptomatology in chocolate cravers. Female chocolate cravers (n = 36) and noncravers (n = 36) underwent a psychophysiological test to assess their HRV during a 5-min rest period, followed by three trials to explore the CDR, elicited by an intense white noise, during the viewing of chocolate, neutral, and unpleasant pictures. After the test, participants completed a questionnaire to measure eating disorder symptomatology. The HRV was inversely related to the magnitude of the CDR and to eating disorder symptomatology in chocolate cravers. In addition, the HRV was inversely related to the magnitude of the CDR when viewing unpleasant pictures but not to neutral or chocolate ones, across all participants. These findings support the idea that poor autonomic regulation, indexed by low HRV, plays a relevant role in food craving and uncontrolled eating behavior.
