DIETARY AND EXERCISE EFFECTS ON NEURAL RESPONSES TO VISUAL FOOD STIMULI IN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE ADULTS
… with altered neural reward processing of food-relevant cues. These observations have caused some investigators to question whether behavioral interventions such as dietary manipulations or physical activity might modulate processing of food cues in reward-related brain regions. The use of …

“Is Butter a Carb?” Neural mechanisms of nutrient-sensing and food reward in the human brain
Sensing the nutrient composition of a food and the processing of this information by the brain’s reward system to regulate food consumption are crucial biological needs. However, dysfunction in neural reward pathways may also lead to overconsumption of certain nutrients, contributing to obesity and …

Activation of the corticolimbic brain by visual food cues; Effect of menstrual cycle phase and mood
Hypothalamic control of food intake may be overridden by cortical and limbic brain regions that process reward and the hedonic aspect of food, affecting the ability to discriminate between homeostatic and hedonic feeding. Women, in particular may be affected since cognition and perception of reward …

Say cheese! Brain imaging of texture perception
… this research was to examine neural pathways of food texture perception during oral processing in the human brain. Oral processing presents technical challenges when analysed using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Thus, the work …

Moderators and underlying mechanisms of stress-induced eating
The effect of stress on food intake varies across individuals, according to gender, bodyweight and eating style. However, little is known about the relative importance of these variables in stress-induced eating. Similarly, little research has addressed whether the effect of stress on intake …

Effects of Cognitive Style on Food Perception and Eating Behavior
… and validated across a wide range of situations, stimuli, and populations. This research, combined with recent applications of the analytic-holistic theory, suggests that the differences in analytic or holistic tendencies of individuals in food, sensory, and consumer tests can impact food …

A pilot study on the effects of bariatric surgery on flavor perception and eating bevahior 2-5 years post-surgery
… such as emotional eating and frequency of food cravings. Unfortunately, little is known as to if these beneficial reductions last long term post-surgery. Therefore, we tested two hypotheses in this thesis based on the aforementioned gaps in the literature. Hypothesis 1: Subjects evaluated …

Understanding affective response to food using facial electromyography: a preliminary look at individual differences
Understanding consumer responses to food can aid the success of newly developed food products. Consumer responses can take many forms, with traditional consumer affective testing typically capturing self-reported hedonic liking of food products. Research has highlighted the importance of …
