The role of serotonin in food intake has been studied for decades. Food intake is mainly
regulated by two brain circuitries:(i) the homeostatic circuitry, which matches energy intake …

Obesity results from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure, and many
studies have aimed to determine why obese individuals continue to (over) consume food …

Purpose The brain noradrenaline (NA) system plays an important role in the central nervous
control of energy balance and is thus implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity. The specific …

The authors investigated relations between obesity, age, and sex and the availabilities of
striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) and extrastriatal serotonin transporter (SERT) by 123I …

Overweight or obesity can be accompanied by abnormalities in executive function and
related neural markers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the behavioral and …

This systematic review collates studies of dietary or bariatric surgery interventions for obesity
using positron emission tomography and single‐photon emission computed tomography. Of …

Response inhibition is thought to play a critical role in the manifestation and maintenance of
obesity. The study aimed to investigate the behavioral and neural correlates of food-related …

Background: Altered brain dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways have been shown in
obese rodents and humans, but it is unknown whether this is related to obesity per se or to …

Central and peripheral pools of biogenic monoamine serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5HT])
exert opposite effects on the body weight regulation: increase in brain 5HT activity is …

A polymorphism in the promoter region of the human serotonin transporter (5-HTT)-coding
SLC6A4 gene (5-HTTLPR) has been implicated in moderating susceptibility to stress-related …
