Background: Healthy aging has been associated with reduced appetite and lower energy
intake, which can lead to loss of bodyweight, undernutrition and related health problems …

Changes in appetite in older adults may result in unhealthy weight change and negatively
affect overall nutrition. Research examining gustatory processing in young adults has linked …

Age affects the human taste system at peripheral and central levels. Metabolic syndrome is a
constellation of risk factors (eg, abdominal obesity and hypertension) that co-occur, increase …

Overweight and obesity pose serious challenges to public health and are promoted by our
food‐rich environment. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to …

To study the interplay of metabolic state (hungry vs. satiated) and glucose administration
(including hormonal modulation) on brain function, resting-state functional magnetic …

The abundant exposure to food cues in our environment is one of the main drivers of
overconsumption. Food evaluation is important for the regulation of food intake by the brain …

Positron emission tomography (PET) data have shown both a positive and negative
correlation in humans between hunger and activity for discrete regions of the right insula …

The present randomized double-blinded cross-over study aims to extensively study the
neural correlates underpinning cognitive functions in healthy subjects after acute glucose …

Objective The brain's reward system influences ingestive behavior and subsequently obesity
risk. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a common method for investigating …

A major regulatory task of the organism is to keep brain functions relatively constant in spite
of metabolic changes (eg, hunger vs. satiety) or availability of energy (eg, glucose …
