A team of researchers recently used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate neural responses to food cues in overweight compared with lean adolescents. The team, including senior investigator Bradley Peterson, M.D., director of the Institute for the Developing Mind at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, observed that food stimuli activated regions of the brain associated with reward and emotion in all groups.
