	BN participants	HC participants	Stimuli	BN > HC	BN < HC
Uher et al. 2004 [50]	10	19	Colour pictures of food > Non-food images Emotional aversive > neutral images	ACC, MOFC	L lateral and anterior parietal, LI parietal, L occipital, posterior cerebellum
Schienle et al. 2009 [56]	14	38	High calorie food images > disgust inducing images> neutral images	Insula and ACC	n/a
Brooks et al. 2011 [49]	8	24	Food > non-food	DLPFC, postcentral gyrus, caudate, precentral gyrus, supplementary motor area	bilateral superior temporal gyrus, bilateral insula, and visual cortex
