Increased food choice-evoked brain activation in adolescents with excess weight: Relationship with subjective craving and behavior

摘要

Objective: We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess brain regions associated with food choices between appetizing (i.e., high sugar, high fat) and plain food in adolescents with excess weight and those with normal weight. The associations between choice-evoked brain activation and subjective food craving and behavioral food choices were also evaluated.
