No evidence for goal priming or sensory specific satiety effects following exposure to ambient food odours
Sensory-specific satiety describes a decline in hedonic value of the taste of a food as it is consumed, relative to a non-consumed food - the pudding tummy phenomenon. Incentive motivation towards consumed foods has also been shown to decline. Interestingly, several studies report that brief exposure to food odours can also produce a sensory-specific satiety effect, in the absence of consumption, selectively reducing hedonic ratings and subsequen…
Touch medicine
Interpersonal touch represents the primal sensory experience between humans, fostering social bonding from the cradle to the death bed. In recent decades "affective touch" has been intensely studied, stimulated by the discovery of a population of mechanosensitive unmyelinated C-tactile afferents in mammalian skin. A lack of touch in childhood is associated with negative consequences for psychosocial and physical health and the benefits of profess…
In your eyes
We investigated the effects of non-informative vision of the body on exteroceptive multisensory integration and touch perception in participants presenting with different levels of eating disorder (ED) symptoms. The study employed a sample of women reporting low (low ED; n = 31) vs high (high ED; n = 34) levels of subclinical ED symptoms who undertook the Somatic Signal Detection task (SSDT). During the SSDT, participants are required to detect n…
Why do we hunger for touch? The impact of daily gentle touch stimulation on maternal‐infant physiological and behavioral regulation and resilience
We report the impact of a Gentle Touch Stimulation (GTS) program. Forty‐three mothers provided daily 10‐min GTS with C‐tactile (CT) afferent optimal stroking touch, for 4 weeks to their 3–12 weeks old infants. CT‐afferents are cutaneous unmyelinated, low‐threshold mechanosensitive nerves hypothesized to underly the regulatory impact of affective touch. We compared physiological and behavioral responses during a no‐touch‐baseline (BL), static‐touc…
