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 magnetic resonance imaging to investigate changes in brain gray/white matter volumes and function in 30 patients with obesity prelaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, as well as at 1 and 3 months after surgery. The authors were able to demonstrate sustained increases in gray/white matter volumes after surgery in several regions of the brain that are associated with food-intake control.
