✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Seizures associated with deglutition are rare, and previously reported cases of so‐called eating epilepsy have not identified specific electrophysiological or anatomical foci. We evaluated a 14‐year‐old with a deep hemispheric astrocytoma in whom focal sezures were consistently triggered by eating. Electroencephalograms were consistent with a deeply located seizure focus. Eating epilepsy should be grouped with reflex epilepsies that may originate with the diencephalon.

## Abstract The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying binge eating disorder (BED) are poorly understood. There is evidence that abnormalities in brain serotonin (5HT) play an important role in binge eating behavior, therefore genes involved in 5HT transmission, such as the 5HT transporter (5HTT)
