Cover: Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in several countries, having profound societal and health care
implications. On pages 37–46, Nora D. Volkow, Gene-Jack Wang and Ruben D. Baler overview the neural bases of
obesity and the failure to resist the urge to eat, and conclude that, much as in addiction, obesity is associated with enhanced
sensitivity of reward-related circuits to conditioned stimuli linked to energy-dense food, coupled with impaired function of the
executive control network that regulates the urge to eat. Understanding the neural (as well as genetic and environmental)
bases of obesity undoubtedly holds the key to curbing the current obesity epidemic. Cover image: Tooga/Digital Vision/
