Obesity results from a temporary or prolonged positive energy balance due to an alteration
in the homeostatic feedback of energy balance. Food, with its discriminative and hedonic …

Overconsumption of high-calorie or unhealthy foods commonly leads to weight gain.
Understanding people's neural responses to high-calorie food cues might help to develop …

Understanding how neurohormonal gut-brain signaling regulates appetite and satiety is vital
for the development of therapies for obesity and altered eating behavior. However, reported …

Hypothalamus (HT), this small structure often perceived through the prism of neuroimaging
as morphologically and functionally homogeneous, plays a key role in the primitive act of …

Background The novel liver-gut hormone liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide-2 (LEAP2) is
a centrally acting inverse agonist, and competitive antagonist of orexigenic acyl ghrelin (AG) …

Investigating brain activity is essential for exploring taste-experience related cues. The
paper aimed to explore implicit (unconscious) emotional or physiological responses related …

Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (LDX) is the only drug currently approved by the FDA for the
treatment of Binge-Eating Disorder (BED), but little is known about the behavioural …

The neural mechanisms underlying susceptibility to eating more in response to large
portions (ie, the portion size effect) remain unclear. Thus, the present study examined how …

Neural models of obesity vary in their focus upon prefrontal and striatal differences. Animal
and human studies suggest that differential functioning of the orbitofrontal cortex is …

Humans are intrinsically motivated to bond with others. The ability to experience affiliative
emotions (such as affection/tenderness, sexual attraction, and admiration/awe) may …
