Brain insulin resistance at the crossroads of metabolic and cognitive disorders in humans
Ever since the brain was identified as an insulin-sensitive organ, evidence has rapidly
accumulated that insulin action in the brain produces multiple behavioral and metabolic …

Impaired insulin action in the human brain: causes and metabolic consequences
Over the past few years, evidence has accumulated that the human brain is an insulin-
sensitive organ. Insulin regulates activity in a limited number of specific brain areas that are …

Effects of fructose vs glucose on regional cerebral blood flow in brain regions involved with appetite and reward pathways
Importance Increases in fructose consumption have paralleled the increasing prevalence of
obesity, and high-fructose diets are thought to promote weight gain and insulin resistance …

The human sexual response cycle: brain imaging evidence linking sex to other pleasures
JR Georgiadis, ML Kringelbach - Progress in neurobiology, 2012 - Elsevier
Sexual behavior is critical to species survival, yet comparatively little is known about the
neural mechanisms in the human brain. Here we systematically review the existing human …

Comparing apples and oranges: using reward-specific and reward-general subjective value representation in the brain
DJ Levy, PW Glimcher - Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
The ability of human subjects to choose between disparate kinds of rewards suggests that
the neural circuits for valuing different reward types must converge. Economic theory …

[HTML][HTML] Neural responses to visual food cues according to weight status: a systematic review of functional magnetic resonance imaging studies
Emerging evidence from recent neuroimaging studies suggests that specific food-related
behaviors contribute to the development of obesity. The aim of this review was to report the …

The functional human neuroanatomy of food pleasure cycles
Food ensures our survival and is a potential source of pleasure and general well-being. In
order to survive, the human brain is required to optimize the resource allocation such that …

Children exposed to maternal obesity or gestational diabetes mellitus during early fetal development have hypothalamic alterations that predict future weight gain
OBJECTIVE Exposure in utero to maternal obesity or gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is
linked to a high risk for obesity in offspring. Animal studies suggest that these exposures …

Resting‐state functional connectivity of the human hypothalamus
The hypothalamus is of enormous importance for multiple bodily functions such as energy
homeostasis. Especially, rodent studies have greatly contributed to our understanding how …

[HTML][HTML] Functional magnetic resonance imaging of human hypothalamic responses to sweet taste and calories
Background: Evidence exists that beverages do not trigger appropriate anticipatory
physiologic responses, such as cephalic phase insulin release. Therefore, it is of interest to …
