Abstract: This document provides methods and materials related to managing weight, supporting appetite control, and controlling cravings associated with smoking reduction or cessation regimens and/or nicotine reduction or cessation regimens. For example, compositions comprising an agent to support acetylcholine and an agent to support one or more biogenic amines, and methods for using such compositions for craving and appetite control are provided. Methods and materials to reduce cravings associated with the reduction or cessation of the use of chemical substances (e.g., drugs of abuse, including opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis, alcohol), and to reduce cravings associated with addictive and/or compulsive behaviors (e.g., gambling, sex, and repetitive behaviors) are also provided.

Abstract: A system for the on-line analysis and topographic display of human brain electrical activity which includes amplifying filtering and converter circuits for generating a plurality of signals, representing electrical activity at a plurality of predetermined data point locations on a patient's head in digital form, a first microprocessor and associated circuits to preprocess the digital signals into a predetermined format, and a second microprocessor and associated topographic map generator forming an image computation and display unit receiving the preprocessed digital signals as inputs from the image computation and display unit the topographic map generator defining a map of a plan or elevation view of the brain containing a plurality of pixel points far in excess of the number of data points and interpolating the digital signals, so as to provide a value for each pixel on the map and providing the pixel information as outputs in synchronism with a horizontal and vertical scan, and a video monitor receiving t
