Effects of reduced weight maintenance and leptin repletion on functional connectivity of the hypothalamus in obese humans
W Hinkle, M Cordell, R Leibel, M Rosenbaum, J Hirsch - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Treating obesity has proven to be an intractable challenge, in part, due to the difficulty of
maintaining reduced weight. In our previous studies of in-patient obese subjects, we have …

Is brain response to food rewards related to overeating? A test of the reward surfeit model of overeating in children
The reward surfeit model of overeating suggests that heightened brain response to rewards
contributes to overeating and subsequent weight gain. However, previous studies have not …
