Background: Eating behavior is determined, to a significant extent, by the rewarding value of
food (ie, liking and wanting). Objective: We determined brain regions involved in liking and …

Prospective studies indicate that individuals with elevated dietary restraint scores are at
increased risk for future bulimic symptom onset, suggesting that these individuals may show …

Objective: Obese versus lean individuals show greater reward region and reduced inhibitory
region responsivity to food images, which predict future weight gain. Thinking of the costs of …

Objective: In this study, we investigate the brain mechanisms of the conscious regulation of
the desire for food using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Further, we examine …

The propensity to indulge in unhealthy eating and overconsumption of palatable food is a
crucial determinant in the rising prevalence of obesity in today's society. The tendency to …

Background: Neuronal processes that underlie the subjective experience of satiety after a
meal are not well defined. Objective: We investigated how satiety alters the perception of …

Two thirds of US adults are either obese or overweight and this rate is rising. Although the
etiology of obesity is not yet fully understood, neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that …

Background: Dietary disinhibition is a behavioral trait associated with weight gain and
obesity. Because food choices are made according to the relative value assigned to each …

Dietary restraint theoretically increases risk for binge eating, but prospective and
experimental studies have produced contradictory findings, apparently because dietary …

Objective Prior neuroimaging research has shown that restrained and unrestrained eaters
demonstrate differential brain activation in response to food cues that parallels their food …
