Reward circuitry responsivity to food predicts future increases in body mass: moderating effects of DRD2 and DRD4.

TLDR
This novel prospective fMRI study indicates that responsivity of reward circuitry to food increases risk for future weight gain, but that genes that impact dopamine signaling capacity moderate the predictive effects, suggesting two qualitatively distinct pathways to unhealthy weight gain based on genetic risk.

Developmental imaging genetics: Linking dopamine function to adolescent behavior

TL;DR: The use of imaging genetics is proposed to examine the influence of genetically mediated dopamine variability on brain function during adolescence, keeping in mind the limitations of this approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Food-induced brain responses and eating behaviour.

TL;DR: The current state of the field of ‘nutritional neuroscience’ is reviewed with a focus on the interplay between food-induced brain responses and eating behaviour and research needs and techniques that could be used to address these are highlighted.

Metabolic vs. hedonic obesity: a conceptual distinction and its clinical implications

TL;DR: Recognition of the two types of obesity may lead to more effective treatment and prevention of obesity, which involves the active control of both food intake and energy expenditure.

Negative affect and neural response to palatable food intake in bulimia nervosa

TL;DR: Results show that as negative affect increases, so does responsivity of reward regions to anticipated intake of palatable food, implying thatnegative affect may increase the reward value of food for individuals with bulimia nervosa or that negative affect has become a conditioned cue due to a history of binge eating in a negative mood.

Associations between depressive symptoms, self-efficacy, eating styles, exercise and body mass index in women.

TL;DR: The association between greater healthy eating self efficacy and BMI was unexpected, and may indicate a suppressor effect of eating self-efficacy in the relationship between depressive symptoms and BMI in women.

Applied Linear Statistical Models

TL;DR: Applied Linear Statistical Models 5e as discussed by the authors is the leading authoritative text and reference on statistical modeling, which includes brief introductory and review material, and then proceeds through regression and modeling for the first half, and through ANOVA and Experimental Design in the second half.

Analysis of fMRI time-series revisited--again.

TL;DR: Correct results are presented that replace those of the previous paper and solve the same problem without recourse to heuristic arguments and a proper and unbiased estimator for the error terms are introduced.

Brain dopamine and obesity.

TL;DR: Dopamine modulates motivation and reward circuits and hence dopamine deficiency in obese individuals may perpetuate pathological eating as a means to compensate for decreased activation of these circuits.

Allelic discrimination using fluorogenic probes and the 5' nuclease assay.

TL;DR: The 5' nuclease (TaqMan) as discussed by the authors is a typical PCR that uses a fluorogenic probe, consisting of an oligonucleotide labeled with both a fluorescent reporter dye and a quencher dye.
