Relation Between Obesity and Blunted Striatal Response to Food Is Moderated by TaqIA A1 Allele

TL;DR: Cross-sectional and prospective data from two functional magnetic resonance imaging studies support the hypothesis that individuals may overeat to compensate for a hypofunctioning dorsal striatum, particularly those with genetic polymorphisms thought to attenuate dopamine signaling in this region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relation of reward from food intake and anticipated food intake to obesity: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study

TL;DR: Results suggest that individuals who show greater activation in the gustatory cortex and somatosensory regions in response to anticipation and consumption of food, but who show weakeractivation in the striatum during food intake, may be at risk for overeating and consequent weight gain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reciprocal relations between rumination and bulimic, substance abuse, and depressive symptoms in female adolescents.

TL;DR: It is suggested that rumination may contribute to the etiology of depressive, bulimic, and substance abuse pathology and that the former two disturbances may foster increased rumination, and it might be beneficial for prevention programs to target this cognitive vulnerability.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analytic review of depression prevention programs for children and adolescents: factors that predict magnitude of intervention effects

TL;DR: Results suggest that depression prevention efforts produce a higher yield if they incorporate factors associated with larger intervention effects (e.g., selective programs with a shorter duration that include homework).
Journal ArticleDOI

Weight Gain Is Associated with Reduced Striatal Response to Palatable Food

TL;DR: Testing whether overeating leads to reduced striatal responsivity to palatable food intake in humans using repeated-measures functional magnetic resonance imaging indicated that women who gained weight over a 6 month period showed a reduction in striatal response toPalatable food consumption relative to weight-stable women.
