OBESITY, CORTEX

A large percentage of adults with obesity report binge eating.Individuals with obesity demonstrate deficits in food-related inhibitory control.Binge eating, among adults with obesity, may be underpinned by deficits in food-related inhibition processes.Areas of the prefrontal cortex (e.g., superior frontal gyrus, the middle frontal gyrus and inferior frontal gyrus, orbitofrontal cortex) and extended inhibitory control networks (parietal cortex, insula, cuneus, supplementary motor area) have been implicated in inhibitory control deficits among adults with high weight.
