Comment on: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy induces sustained changes in gray and white matter brain volumes and resting functional connectivity in obese patients

The objective of their study was to use structural and resting-state MRI to investigate changes in brain Grey Matter (GM) / White Matter (WM) volumes and function in 30 patients with obesity pre-LSG, as well as at 1-month and 3-month after surgery. The authors were able to demonstrate sustained increases in GM/WM volumes after surgery in several regions of the brain that are associated with food-intake control.
