Objective This study investigated functional brain response differences to food in women
with BMI either< 25 kg/m2 (lean) or> 35 kg/m2 (severe obesity). Design and Methods Thirty …

Obesity is a complex disorder associated with serious health risks. Examining differences in
brain activity between normal weight and obese populations in response to food cues may …

Objective Exposure to high‐calorie foods may promote overeating by stimulating brain
reward pathways and appetite. Abdominal fat has particularly adverse metabolic …

Objective The obesogenic environment is pervasive, yet only some people become obese.
The aim was to investigate whether obese individuals show differential neural responses to …

Background: In response to food cues, obese vs normal-weight individuals show greater
activation in brain regions involved in the regulation of food intake under both fasted and …

Obese individuals show altered neural responses to high-calorie food cues. Individuals with
binge eating [BE], who exhibit heightened impulsivity and emotionality, may show a related …

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

Recent advances in neuroimaging technology have given us the ability to detect brain
function in vivo, noninvasively. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron …

Context Obesity is accompanied by damages to several tissues, including the brain.
Pathological data and animal models have demonstrated an increased inflammatory …

Results: Food images induced brain responses in the hypothalamus, striatum, amygdala,
insula, ventromedial prefrontal cortex (PFC), dorsolateral PFC and occipital lobe (whole …
