Figure 4.
At 4 months post-surgery, there was a two-way interaction between treatment and binge eating status groups in the middle occipital gyrus in response to HEF (vs. LEF) cues. Binge eaters (BE) showed greater activation (vs. non-binge eaters, NB) in middle occipital gyrus in response to Food vs. Non-Food (NF) cues. The RYGB BE participants (vs. RYGB NB, NT BE, and NT NB participants) had the lowest middle occipital gyrus activation in response to HEF (vs. LEF) cues, whilst the RYGB NB participants (vs. RYGB BE, NT BE, and NT NB participants) had the highest middle occipital gyrus activation in response to HEF (vs. LEF) cues.
