    Sonja Yokum
    Oregon Research Institute, Eugene, Oregon, USA
    Obesity (Silver Spring) 19:1775-83. 2011
    ..Results indicate that overweight is related to greater attentional bias to food cues and that youth who show elevated reward circuitry responsivity during food cue exposure are at increased risk for weight gain...
  2. ncbi An fMRI study of obesity, food reward, and perceived caloric density. Does a low-fat label make food less appealing?
    Janet Ng
    Department of Psychology, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403, USA
    Appetite 57:65-72. 2011
    ..Results suggest that hyper-responsivity of somatosensory, gustatory, and reward valuation regions may be related to overeating and that top-down processing influence reward encoding, which could further contribute to weight gain...
