Impaired cross-talk between mesolimbic food reward processing and metabolic signaling predicts body mass index

Impaired cross-talk between mesolimbic food reward processing and metabolic signaling predicts body mass index

The anticipation of the pleasure derived from food intake drives the motivation to eat, and hence facilitate overconsumption of food which ultimately results in obesity. Brain imaging studies provide evidence that mesolimbic brain regions underlie both general as well as food related anticipatory re...
