Background: The brain is crucial for the control of food intake, reward, and energy
homeostasis. Objective: We hypothesized that 1) brain circuits involved in energy
homeostasis and reward show different functional connectivity patterns between obese and
lean individuals and 2) food intake affects functional connectivity differentially in obese and
lean individuals. Therefore, we compared the connectivity of the hypothalamus, amygdala,
and posterior cingulate cortex, each probing a distinct network related to energy …
