The Effect of a Meal on Brain Activation in Reward Pathways

NCT01631045 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 24

Summary

Scientists have studied how fasting and nutrients affect brain function in animals. The purpose of this study is to look at the effects of both fasting and food intake on brain function and memory in humans. To do this the investigators will use functional MRI to observe the brain and its function while fasting and after a meal. Understanding the action of these hormones in the brain may eventually lead to new ways to help people avoid obesity or lose weight.
