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.

Spontaneous regional brain activity links restrained eating to later weight gain among young women

TL;DR: In this article, resting fMRI was used to test the extent to which spontaneous neural activity in regions associated with inhibitory control and food reward account for potential relations between baseline restrained eating levels and changes in body weight among dieters over a one-year interval.
Journal ArticleDOI

Massive weight loss following deep brain stimulation of the nucleus accumbens in a depressed woman.

TL;DR: The current case suggests that DBS of the NAcc warrants further evaluation in patients unresponsive to other treatments, including treatment-resistant depression as well as severe obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prefrontal cortex-mediated executive function as assessed by Stroop task performance associates with weight loss among overweight and obese adolescents and young adults.

TL;DR: Overall, the results support a role for prefrontal cortex‐mediated EF in influencing food intake and weight loss outcomes in a population of a previously unstudied age.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
