Acknowledgments The author would like to thank Vladimir Nikora and Mohamed Ghidaoui for the invitation to write this Vision Paper. Rui Ferreira and Francesco Ballio have provided thorough reviews of the initial draft. Their time and effort, thoughtful comments, and helpful suggestions are gratefully acknowledged. The application of the double-averaging methodology to open channel flows had been developed and discussed with an informal group of researchers, who held eight workshops in the period between 2002 and 2010. The author would like to thank Vladimir Nikora for the leadership of this group and all group members for many enjoyable, challenging and productive discussions. Funding The author is grateful to the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC, grants GR/R51865/01, EP/E0113301, and EP/K013513/1) and School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen for the funding support towards this work.Peer reviewedPublisher PD

GUEST EDITORS\u27 NOTE

This thematic issue of Psychological Topics is devoted to the gut-brain axis, the cross-talk between the gut, its microbiota and the brain, and its role in understanding the underlying mechanisms that explain the complex interactions between the biological, psychological and social aspects of functional gastrointestinal, metabolic and weight disorders. Research on the role of the gut-brain axis in health and disease is quite new, and we hope that the articles published in this issue will contribute to further understanding of this interesting and important scientific topic. This issue presents a broad range of research reports, theoretical contributions and review papers on the effects of various functional gastrointestinal disorders and weight regulation issues on physical and mental health, and the quality of life in general.   Accordingly, the articles published in this issue of Psychological Topics cover a variety of topics, such as regulation of functions of the brain and body by the principle of predictive coding and implications for impairments of the brain-gut axis; gut microbiota and its role in human health and body weight; psychological factors and metabolic outcomes in overweight and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes; correlates of body mass index and the role of brain-gut miscommunication in irritable bowel syndrome; parents and childhood functional abdominal pain and the conjoint role of dieting and health complaints of adolescents.   We would like to express our thanks to all the authors for their contributions to this issue of Psychological Topics. Last but not the least, special thanks go to the Editor-in Chief, the Editorial Board and the academic reviewers.   Mladenka Tkalčić and Alessandra Pokrajac-Bulia
