Neural vulnerability factors for obesity
Multiple theories identify neural vulnerability factors that may increase risk for overeating
and weight gain. Early cross-sectional neuroimaging studies were unable to determine …

Variability in reward responsivity and obesity: evidence from brain imaging studies
Advances in neuroimaging techniques have provided insight into the role of the brain in the
regulation of food intake and weight. Growing evidence demonstrate that energy dense …

Hungry brains: A meta-analytical review of brain activation imaging studies on food perception and appetite in obese individuals
The dysregulation of food intake in chronic obesity has been explained by different theories.
To assess their explanatory power, we meta-analyzed 22 brain-activation imaging studies …

Poor ability to resist tempting calorie rich food is linked to altered balance between neural systems involved in urge and self-control
Background The loss of self-control or inability to resist tempting/rewarding foods, and the
development of less healthful eating habits may be explained by three key neural …

The contribution of brain reward circuits to the obesity epidemic
One of the defining characteristics of the research of Ann E. Kelley was her recognition that
the neuroscience underlying basic learning and motivation processes also shed significant …

Neural mechanisms associated with food motivation in obese and healthy weight adults
One out of three adults in the United States is clinically obese. Excess food intake is
associated with food motivation, which has been found to be higher in obese compared to …

Training motor responses to food: A novel treatment for obesity targeting implicit processes
The present review first summarizes results from prospective brain imaging studies focused
on identifying neural vulnerability factors that predict excessive weight gain. Next, findings …

Neural correlates of individual differences related to appetite
Using neuroimaging technologies to compare normal weight and obese individuals can
reveal much about the pathophysiological state of obesity but such comparisons tell us little …

Fuel not fun: Reinterpreting attenuated brain responses to reward in obesity
NB Kroemer, DM Small - Physiology & Behavior, 2016 - Elsevier
There is a well-established literature linking obesity to altered dopamine signaling and brain
response to food-related stimuli. Neuroimaging studies frequently report enhanced …
