...…fragment length polymorphism is downstream from the D2R gene (Neville et al., 2004), and individuals carrying the A1 allele of the polymorphism have between 30%–40% fewer striatal D2Rs compared with those not carrying the allele (Jönsson et al., 1999; Ritchie and Noble, 2003; Stice et al., 2010b)....

...…the magnitude of striatal activation in response to imagined eating of palatable food, as opposed to its actual consumption, was inversely correlated with weight gain over the following year in subjects with the A1 allele but positively correlated in non-A1 allele subjects (Stice et al., 2010b)....

...Moreover, women who gained weight over a 6 month period had a marked decline in striatal activity in response to palatable food during this time period compared with women who did not gain weight (Stice et al., 2010a)....

...These effects in rats are reminiscent of the decreased striatal activation in response to food reward described above in human subjects as they gained weight over a 6 month period (Stice et al., 2010a; see Figure 4)....

...As noted above, women who gained weight over a 6 month period had a marked decline in striatal activity in response to palatable food over this time period compared with women who did not gain weight (Stice et al., 2010a; Figure 4)....

...In one case, dopamine-related genetic variation interacted with blunted brain activation to correlate with elevated risk for future weight gain (Stice et al., 2010)....
