The Neural Correlates of Food Choice Decision-making in Obesity and Weight Loss

NCT01218503 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 90

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is designed to determine whether obese, normal weight, and successful weight loss maintainers differ in their food choice decision-making and/or executive function, and whether participation in a behavioral weight loss program leads to neural and/or behavioral changes. The investigators will examine behavioral performance on several tasks involving decision-making and self-control in conjunction with brain imaging data acquired during a food-choice decision-making task. Participants enrolled in the behavioral weight loss program will also be assessed following the treatment.
