A neural basis for food foraging in obesity

Eva Almiron-Roig et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2019 Jan.

Abstract

Poverty-related food insecurity can be viewed as a form of economic and nutritional uncertainty that can lead, in some situations, to a desire for more filling and satisfying food. Given the current obesogenic food environment and the nature of the food supply, those food choices could engage a combination of sensory, neurophysiological, and genetic factors as potential determinants of obesity.
