Food stimuli decrease activation in regions of the prefrontal cortex related to executive function: an fNIRS study

CONCLUSIONS: The results of both experiments indicated that food stimuli decrease activation in regions of the prefrontal cortex related to executive function. This study also suggests that overweight/obese might consciously suppress their responses to a desired stimulus, yet here it seems that effect was less pronounced than in healthy controls.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, Cohort Studies.PMID:37982958 | PMC:PMC10661783 | DOI:10.1007/s40519-023-01623-7
