Obesity represents a risk factor for disability with a major bearing on life expectancy.
Neuroimaging techniques are contributing to clarify its neurobiological underpinnings. Here …

Background Substantial efforts have been made to investigate the neurobiological
underpinnings of human obesity with a number of studies indicating a profound influence of …

Although a variety of MRI studies investigated the link between body mass index (BMI) and
parameters of neural gray matter (GM), the technique applied in most of these studies, voxel …

Introduction Several studies have suggested that greater adiposity in older adults is
associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) related cognitive decline, some …

Objective Noncoding alleles of the fat mass and obesity‐associated (FTO) gene have been
associated with obesity risk, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Risk allele …

The hippocampus is a critical brain substrate for learning and memory; events that harm the
hippocampus can seriously impair mental and behavioral functioning. Hippocampal …

The reward-processing network is implicated in the aetiology of obesity. Several lines of
evidence suggest obesity-linked genetic risk loci (such as DRD2 and FTO) may influence …

Objective Obesity is a disorder of excessive adiposity, typically assessed via the
anthropometric density measure of BMI. Numerous studies have implicated BMI with …

Background Previous research has demonstrated significant relationships between obesity
and brain structure. Both phenotypes are heritable, but it is not known whether they are …

Most quantifiable traits exhibit some degree of heritability. The heritability of physical traits is
often high, but the heritability of some personality traits and intelligence can also be highly …
