תיאור: We propose that food-related uncertainty is but one of multiple cues that predicts harsh conditions and may activate incentive hope. An evolutionarily adaptive response to these would have been to shift to a behavioral-metabolic phenotype geared toward facing hardship. In modernity, this phenotype may lead to pathologies such as obesity and hoarding. Our perspective suggests a novel therapeutic approach. © 2019 Cambridge University Press.
