Holdcroft believes that the changes in the
brain are more likely to be the result of changes in the
volume of individual cells, rather than changes in the
number of cells in the
brain.
In the 8 participants for whom an adequate
number of imaging studies were completed, whole
brain volume — the overall amount of
brain tissue — decreased significantly throughout the study period.
The MRI scans showed that obese subjects with binge eating disorder have lower grey matter
volumes — a measure of the
number of neurons — in the orbitofrontal cortex and striatum of the
brain compared to those who do not binge eat; these
brain regions are involved in keeping track of goals and rewards.
Simply take a sample of the
brain, count the
number of neurons in that sample and then extrapolate that information to account for the remaining
brain volume.
Scientists at the University of Texas discovered that to some extent the loss of
brain volume is balanced by larger
numbers of connections between neurons.
Increased
volume in this
brain region is associated with more optimal development of a
number of psychosocial factors (e.g., stress reactivity).15 Links between early responsive parenting and increased
volume in the hippocampal region also suggest that the early developmental period is an important time to facilitate responsive parenting practices, especially in high risk families, in order to enhance the parent - child relationship.
