Marine Microbial Diversity as a Source of Bioactive Natural Products
A trillion different microbial species have been evolving for some 3.5 billion years, producing ever more complex active secondary metabolites. The sea is a cauldron of a great diversity of useful and valuable compounds. This Special Issue focused on studies of marine microbe natural products for discovering compounds useful to humankind. Papers were collected that provide up-to-date information regarding the characterization of marine microbes’ metabolic diversity and the evaluation of the therapeutic potential of marine microbes’ metabolites. Most of the articles in this book deal with marine fungi, biological and chemical diversity, and their active metabolites. This may be a sign tha...

Neurobiological Perspectives in Behavioral Addiction
Some classes of behaviors, including gambling, Internet gaming, and sexual behaviors, may lead to compulsive engagement for a minority of individuals. In extreme cases where individuals may feel unable to control these behaviors without external influence, these behaviors may be considered non-substance or behavioral addictions. Many such behaviors may occur predominantly online, such as gaming, social media, shopping, and pornography, and may be driven by constant accessibility via smartphone and other mobile device technologies. This Research Topic presents diverse papers on neurobiological evidence of behavioral addictions, encompassing gambling disorder, Internet-based disorders, including Internet gaming disorder and smartphone addiction, and compulsive sexual behaviors.
Consumer Neuroscience - Foundation, Validation, and Relevance
Consumer neuroscience has become an expanding area of both research and conduct – spanning from academic interests in the brain bases of consumption choices to commercial application of neuroscience tools and metrics. However, many of these advances are still criticized for low applicability, scattered publication records, conceptual vagueness, and a lack of proper scientific and commercial validation. To make matters worse, there is now a host of proposed commercial applications of both the insights from neuroscience and the application of neuroscience and neurophysiology tools to test consumer responses. While many of these approaches may be valid, many other approaches are either not pr...
