[HTML][HTML] Elevated energy intake is correlated with hyperresponsivity in attentional, gustatory, and reward brain regions while anticipating palatable food receipt
Background: Obese compared with lean individuals show greater attention-, gustatory-, and
reward-region responsivity to food cues but reduced reward-region responsivity during food
intake. However, to our knowledge, research has not tested whether an objectively
measured caloric intake is positively associated with neural responsivity independent of
excess adipose tissue. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that objectively measured
energy intake, which accounts for basal needs and the percentage of body fat, correlates …
