Summary

This study aims to characterize the neurobiology of obesity in American Indians (AI) using functional MRIs to examine the correlation between brain response to food stimuli in AI women. A functional MRI (fMRI) is used to visualize brain activity when obese and lean AI women look at images of fattening food, non-fattening food and non-food objects. Additionally examined is the effect of the drug naltrexone to suppress brain response to visual food cues and calorie intake in the women.
