Figure 9. Brain activation in response to low and high ED food cues in lean and obese participants.

Figure 9

Sagittal and coronal brain slices depict areas showing greater visual and auditory activation (conjunction) in response to high-ED (vs. low-ED) food cues in obese vs. lean individuals in the midbrain (x = 0), putamen (x = −32), posterior cingulate gyrus (x = −16), hippocampus (x = 28), and superior temporal gyrus (STG, y = −30). Bar graphs show parameter estimates for voxels of each region in obese and lean individuals for high-ED and low-ED cues (mean ± SD).
